*The Bookseller*
A perfectly paced, deadpan tale full of visual humour from an
award-winning team.
*The Bookseller Children's Buyer's Guide*
The witty and extraordinary story is so simple yet perfect. It’s
got all the words it needs and the text works beautifully with the
mellow coloured, gorgeous illustrations (with important details!).
The typography and layout of the book are well executed too and
match the story perfectly. The books is a pleasure on the eyes for
adults and children and it’s a lovely story for parents to read
with their children.

In simple illustrations, Sam and Dave Dig a Hole gives a host of
opportunities for imagining and dreaming.
