Two boys dig and dig in search of adventure. The dog is digging too in pursuit of a bone. Finally, a breakthrough! And then they are back home. Or are they? Mac's spare text perfectly depicts this simple scenario that turns out to be anything but simple. Jon's colored pencil illustrations include small details that suggest there is more to this story.
