Sam & Dave Dig a Hole Hardcover – Picture Book, 1 Jan. 1900

My grandson, age 3, loves this book.

What a lovely book! I love that there’s more going on than the words alone suggest. My toddler absolutely adores it.

Wonderfully original! A great example of the illustrations saying so much more than is contained within the actual words. I have used this with Year 1-Year 4 classes and all the children LOVED it! After setting the scene at the beginning the reader of the story then needs do little more than just read the words verbatim & keep a straight face when turning the pages; the children have no problem in getting the message, or in realising that the dog is the one with the brains!

Strange and funny story. My 8 year old boys found the illustrations funny.Didn’t really get the end or the purpose of the story.Nice for bedtime and provided some talking points.

My grandson and I love these books. So funny.

My two kids (3 and 6) both love this and delight in pointing out how the boys have only just missed the treasure. It is a simple enough story that the 6 year old can also read it to her brother.

This book is amazing for kids aged between 4-10. My 10 year old loved it and especially talking about what they think happened at the end. Great discussion points and illustrations tell as much if the story as the story (without giving it away) a classic.

This book is brilliant - our four year old finds it hilarious, I won’t give the story away but the visual jokes are just excellent. It’s a firm favourite and we read it pretty much every day.
