In this delightful picture book, young minds explore their world, offering playful "definitions" of commonplace objects. A hole is for digging, a spoon is for eating, a chair is for sitting - through their innocent eyes, the mundane becomes magical. These charming vignettes capture the joy of discovery and the boundless creativity of childhood. Brimming with whimsy and heart, "A Hole is to Dig" celebrates the unique perspectives of inquisitive kids as they make sense of their surroundings.
