What
happens when Sam and Dave dig a hole looking for something spectacular? Will they be able to
dig down very far? Is there anything interesting hidden in the ground? Will
their dog help them? Could there really
be a treasure?
Margo spotted this gem at our
local bookstore and had to have it. The story is about some boys digging
for something spectacular. They dig down. Nothing. They change course- still nothing. Their
dog tries to help them. But they can't find anything! At least that’s
the story when you only read the words. The illustrations tell a whole other
story! I pretended not to notice what was happening in the pictures, and Margo’s
face was priceless. She was cracking up and pointing by the end. Of course, now she wants to dig up our backyard and who knows what mysteries are hidden out there!
Has anyone else read Sam and Dave Dig a Hole? Or have you
read another book by Mac Barnett or Jon Klassen? We’d love to hear your thoughts.
Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteValerie- It is a very fun and intriguing book. :) ~F
DeleteA little between-the-lines, huh? Or between the images.
ReplyDeleteL. Diane Wolfe- Very true! :) ~F
DeleteSounds like a good one. I dug a big hole as a kid, down we went.
ReplyDeletePat- For some reason big holes are fun to dig. :) ~F
DeleteEveryone always imagines what they will find if they dig a hole; sounds like this is a good one of what was found!

Betty- It is always fun to imagine something exciting hidden under the ground. :) ~F

ReplyDeleteShon- Isn't it interesting how digging a hole can be such fun! :) ~F
DeleteIt does sound like a heap of fun - for everyone.
ReplyDeleteAs a child we had a hole digging dog. The next door neighbour and I could (and did) hide down her hole.

Olivia-Savannah- If you are an au-pair again the kids would definitely get a kick out of this one. But- you have to read it to them once when they can't see the pictures first. :) ~F
Deletewhat a hole digging adventure indeed!
ReplyDeleteDezmond- Totally! :) ~F
DeleteAs a child, digging in the sand at the beach, I can clearly remember my grandddad say that if I dug deep enough I'd reach Australia.
ReplyDeleteTracy- I always felt like I could dig to the other side of the world too. :) ~F
