  • Dig Dig

    Leslie Wood

    Paperback (Oxford University Press, March 27, 1997)
    The Cat On The Mat series began with two simple picture books for very young children created by Brian Wildsmith. The books were so successful that we have published more in the same style and format by both Wildsmith and other illustrators. "Dig, dig" goes the child on the beach. "Dig, dig" goes the dog with his bone. "Dig, dig" goes the big tractor. "Dig, dig" are the only words in this delightful little book!
