A review by lattelibrarian
Sam & Dave Dig a Hole by Mac Barnett

5.0

This book had me feeling content, frustrated, and enjoyably bemused.  Barnett and Klassen are a powerful duo, and one I hope to see more of in the near future.  Klassen's illustrations and Barnett's text are intertwined in such a way that the entire book would fall apart if they weren't together.  Without the text, the boys' motivations would be lost, and without the illustrations, the irony would be gone.  Together, they stir up emotions in the reader from the rising action to the quite literal falling action.

This is a picturebook at its finest.
