About This Book
Sam and Dave set out to dig a hole, promising not to stop until they find something spectacular. They dig and dig, narrowly missing an enormous diamond each time they change direction, in a brilliantly deadpan story with a subtly surreal ending that will keep families guessing.
Why We Love This
The dry humor lands perfectly for grown-ups while kids are captivated by the digging - and everyone argues about the ending, which is the mark of a truly great picture book.
