What a lovely example of an engaging, living book. We read this yesterday and the kids were captivated. They asked to read it again today. So we did. Rapt attention. Then they took out the paper and crayons and drew and drew and drew. They all made plans for their own digging expedition complete with all the gear and food and how they'd pay for it. It was incredible to see them so caught up in a book.

This book is a hundred kinds of awesome. My almost-three-year-old loves it, and so do I.
If you ever wondered what would happen if you started digging a hole to try to get to the other side of the world, well, this book tells you about all of the obstacles that you would have to face to try to do it. I learned a few things, that's for sure.
