Roy Digs Dirt

By David Shannon

Book Overview

Woof Meet Roy, an adorable white dog who is wild about digging, digging, digging in the dirt

David Shannon's picture books are loved for their endearing characters and laugh-aloud humor, and Roy's charming naughtiness will remind readers of what they love about Shannon's No, David , a bestselling Caldecott Honor Book about a boy with a nose for trouble.Although it's a smelly task for those who have to constantly bathe him, Roy's happiness centers on his very favorite thing-dirt-and from sunrise to sunset, he burrows in it, rolls in it, and digs up buried treasures. There's terror in every terrier, and when Roy runs into the house after being sprayed by a skunk, he faces the dreaded bathtub. Readers will see themselves in Roy's childlike delight each time he makes the biggest mess ever.

Our new favorite!

This book is hilarious! We don’t even have a dog, but I can fully appreciate the book’s accuracy. I laugh out loud every time we read it, and my 2, 5, and 11 year old all love it. I can tell this is going to be a long-term favorite in our home.
