A Perfect Day for Digging




This book 'A Perfect Day for Digging' reminds me of Tom Sawyer and his painting the fence activity.
This book's energy will get the uninterested ones too digging any day. The division of the action in the pages shows the pace of the characters. I dont know which was the first book with many scenes on the same page, but I like it for the snapshot effect.
The filled in effect, creative use of color in the illustrations - blue on the fence, on the tree (along with the green), on Nell's dress.. would make a very good coloring activity book if the book were to ever come out in that form.
