Dig, Dig, Digger: A little digger with big dreams

by Morag Hood

It is a day like any other at the roadworks when Digger decides she no longer likes digging down into mud, dark and worms – she wants to dig UP! Although up is quite tricky to get to, with some ingenuity and balloons, Digger goes off on a grand adventure. But adventures aren't as fun without friends, so Digger must dig her way home.

With a witty text, bright colours and a finger trail to follow from the award-winning Morag Hood, young children and adults will love reading Dig, Dig, Digger! together.

About the author

"I'm an award-winning children's book author and illustrator from Edinburgh. I love making up stories, print-making and cutting and sticking. My favourite things to draw are eyebrows.

I have an MA in Children's Book Illustration from Cambridge School of Art and a BA in Costume Design from Wimbledon College of Art. I used to work in theatre, but now spend my days in my Edinburgh studio with views of the hills.

One day I will manage to write a book about my very favourite animal - the duck.

I am represented by Paul Moreton at Bell Lomax Moreton."

As DIgger is digging away, as he does, he realizes that digging no longer makes him happy. So he decides to go up! Which isn’t exactly as exciting as he thought it would be. How will this little digger find home?
A cute story about the grass being greener (or is it) somewhere else. Digger is very cute. It would be great as a board book. - with wheels!

“Digger was really cute. I feel bad for her at the beginning because she didn’t want to do her job but she had to do it. I liked that she digged all the way home!” - Lucas
