THE REAL HOLE
by Beverly Cleary illustrated by DyAnne DiSalvo-Ryan
Four-year-old Jimmy, unlike his girl twin, likes real not imagined things. And so when his father gives him a real trench shovel, he is in transports and determines to dig himself a perfectly enormous hole. This he does. But what to do with it? His family hits upon a delightful solution, and the denouement of this charming story takes into consideration the nature of the reader at whom it is directed.
