Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
First published in 1952, this hilarious classic is now available in paperback to a new generation. Krauss's definitions--from "toes are to wiggle" to "a hat is to wear on a train"--tell what's what--and Sendak's inimitable early illustrations show how. All ages.

A Hole Is To Dig,
By missliss23 "missliss23" (Nebraska, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hole Is To Dig (Hardcover)
A friend of ours bought this book (among hundreds others) at a book sale that a library was having and let my family take it as she was moving and didn't have room to take five boxes of ex-library books with her.When I first saw the book I thought, "Oh, cute and old-fashioned!"... then I read it and was like, "Ok, this is just....weird..." This book is full of definitions. Some of them are pretty cute, like the opening one, "Mashed potatoes are for everyone to have enough," and there are several others, as well. The illustrations are cute, I gotta admit. And some of the phrases are pretty catchy. But overall, I don't like this book. My (...) twin sisters love having it read to them but it's just a very different and poorly written book. I'm really sorry to those of you who love this book, but...in my opinion, this book is just awful... I mean, I guess I can see how I would love it if it reminded me of when I was a little kid (because I'm really sentimental;)) but I wouldn't recommend purchasing "A Hole Is To Dig".

a "must-have" for the bookshelf,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hole Is To Dig (Hardcover)
I stumbled on an old copy in a used book store and bought it for myself (I'm 43!). It made me smile out loud as I stood reading it in the aisle. The illustrations and text are sweet and engaging... an example of what every book written for a young child (or young-at-heart adult) should be. I'd give this book more stars if they were available...

Worst Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hole Is To Dig (Hardcover)
My 2 1/2 year old loves to read. We have 2 bookshelves full of books from several authors. After reading this book, I can say without hesitation that it is the worst book on his shelf...strange...If you want a good book that is different, buy Sugarbush Spring. This was a complete waste of money.
