Bush Bash

Description

Dingo is headed somewhere looking excited, and the other animals want to know where he's going. Dingo won't say, so the others follow along in hot pursuit - two nosy numbats, three flying frogs, four burrowing bilbies ... The animals are in for a surprise when Dingo's final destination is revealed on the last page. As well as being a counting book, this is a seek-and-find story. There is one aboriginal artefact plus one non-native animal on each colourful spread.
