Dingo is headed somewhere looking excited, and the other animals want to know where he's going. Dingo wont 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 Dingos 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.
