Dig Dig Digger

This simple, witty text of a big adventure that befell a small digger. Life has become boring, always dig, dig digging down. So one day, Digger decides he will go up, to the blue sky, the stars, to adventure. Getting going was a huge challenge, each attempt failing until, on a page turn, suddenly, Digger goes up with the help of dozens of brightly coloured balloons! Down at street level, the vehicles, streetlights and even the traffic cones watch in amazement. But initial excitement palls, and Digger decided what he wants is to go away from these empty skies, with no friends. Luckily, what goes up usually comes down,….but his landing is on a desert island. As he sits in his solitary state, sobbing, he realises all he can do is DIG, dig down. A wonderful double spread follows, as furious progress is made, down and down, round and round. Until…. lights, traffic lights and cones and smiley vehicles welcome him, Digger is home! Quirky illustrations throughout follow this playful story, and young readers will love all the humourous characterisations from this UKLA award-winning and best-selling author-illustrator.
