Dingo King by Ivan Smith, with artwork by Clifton Pugh, presents a vivid blend of narrative and visual storytelling that celebrates the wild majesty of Australia’s native dingo. This illustrated fiction combines poetic prose with expressive paintings and drawings to chronicle the life of a lone dingo as he navigates the harsh beauty of the outback. Smith instructs readers in the rhythms of survival, instinct, and territorial struggle, while Pugh’s artwork intensifies the emotional and environmental texture of the tale. The book argues for a deeper respect for native wildlife, portraying the dingo not as a pest but as a symbol of resilience and freedom. With its lyrical tone and striking visuals, it stands as a powerful tribute to one of Australia’s most misunderstood creatures.
