The Giant Devil Dingo (1973) is a picture book for children by Dick Roughsey. It describes how the dreamtime devil-dingo, Gaiya, of lower Cape York Peninsula mythology was domesticated to become man's friend and helper.

Artwork from the book is held by the National Museum of Australia.[1]

Reception

Kirkus Reviews wrote "The appendix might better have been a preface ... But the chase and basic situation (in Europe the hungry pursuers would be a witch and her familiar) are as easy to grasp as the peculiarly Australian flavor is authentic. And despite the sameness of the scenes--repetitive in scale, perspective and color--Roughsey's flat, clay colored paintings (with dabs of green for foliage) are the more effective for their amateur look--especially where that huge-tongued, red-eyed dingo opposes the small, faceless, dimly differentiated humans."[2] while The Aboriginal Child at School called it "a highly successful book."[3]The Giant Devil Dingo has also been reviewed by The Sydney Morning Herald and Reading Time.[4]

It has been selected for the 2010 NSW Premier's Reading Challenge,[5]

and was commended in the 1974 Children's Book Council of Australia awards for Children's Picture Book of the Year.[6]
