內容簡介
【凱迪克得獎繪本 穿越這個地洞，我會到達哪裡？童心未泯的地心大冒險】《Sam and Dave Dig a Hole》
作者Mac Barnett不僅是小說家，更著有17本繪本！今天這本更是與帽子三部曲的作者Jon Klassen合作，請他負責繪圖。本書不意外地，也得到了美國凱迪克繪本獎（Caldecott Honor）。
Sam跟Dave在周一開工挖洞，並說在找到壯觀的東西（something spectacular）之前，絕對不停工。兩人挖呀挖，卻總與寶石擦肩而過；緊跟身邊的狗狗則不停暗示鑽石就在他倆身邊，但Dave與Sam卻遲遲沒有挖到。
一直到兩人精疲力竭、糧食耗盡之際，換成狗狗往下挖洞……最後他們到達一個再平凡不過的地方，但卻發現那是最壯麗的景色...。當我們一心想追尋某種事物、或是達成某個目標時，我們是否真正需要那個東西？或許，結果永遠不是重點，過程才是最重要的，無論你最後找到了甚麼，都沒有比因為這趟追尋而成長的自己，還來得有價值。
