Dig In!
by Cindy Jenson-Elliott; illus. by Mary Peterson
40 pages; ages 4-8
Beach Lane Books, 2016
I dig in the dirt…
and find a worm.
Worm wiggles.
This is a perfect book for kids who love to play in the dirt.
What I Like About this Book: its simplicity. In fewer than 100 words author Cindy Jenson-Elliott takes us into the world of dirt, rocks, pill bugs and spiders. And she does it in style. A very particular style. Each dirt-under-the-fingernails observation begins, “I dig in the dirt….” followed by “and find a (worm, bug, seed…..)” and ending with a noun-verb combination. “Worm wiggles.”
