Another cute new one into the system!
Sam & Dave Dig a Hole

A Caldecott Honor recipient, this duo knocks it out of the park. Kids will really get a kick out of all the "treasures" that the digging duo just barely miss, and even the zany imaginative ending should be a hit. Sam and Dave (and the dog, a very important cast-member) are digging, and they are going to dig until they find something spectacular. Sadly, they keep changing directions and ending up missing spectacular finds in almost every spread! Finally bushed, they stop for a rest, while the dog keeps digging, and something spectacular happens anyway.
Very cute, and a good way to enjoy Klassen's artwork if you aren't quite ready for the subversive humor of his own books.
