A classic, colourfully illustrated Beginner Book which will delight and inspire early readers. When Sam's new dog learns to dig holes, he can't stop. He digs up gardens, road and buildings, and finally digs himself into a hole he can't get out of. The adventures of The Digging-est Dog will give children pride and pleasure in their early reading. Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme and bright pictures that can be 'read' even by the non-reading child. Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types have been designed to give children confidence and make them want to go on reading.

"I see a nose on every face. I see noses every place!” Noses come in all shapes, colors, and sizes and are handy to have for sniffling, smelling, and . . . playing horns? This simple, sometimes silly story offers little ones a first ode to the nose and all that it does.
