Synopsis:
Fun and playful story by Margaret Wise Brown, best-selling author of the children's classics Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. 
Dig, dig, dig! Join the animals and machines as they dig an incredible journey of discovery underground in this imaginative story. This amazing adventure is brought to life by French illustrator Antoine Corbineau, using a patchwork of texture and color in his vibrant illustrations to bring the fun and energetic world of the diggers to life. 

Our Thoughts:

This fun book shows and tells us all about digging, from worms and rabbits digging their homes and dens to big machinery that digs holes through mountains for roads and train tracks. 

This is probably the perfect book for little diggers and lovers of creepy crawlies and big machines, but my pretty pink princess-obsessed daughter enjoyed it. 

The illustrations are really fun and colorful, with lots of different textures and patterns, as well as paths, roads, tracks, and more for roaming eyes and hands to follow while reading! 

My only disappointment was that with all the different types of diggers and digging involved in this picture book, there was no one digging in any gardens. That would have been much more relatable for my daughter and I, but we enjoyed it all the same!
