Digby the Digger Dog Cover

Digby the Digger Dog

Digby the Digger Dog is a picture book text with gorgeously fun illustrations by Ricky Rumsey. Jill Eggleton writes a comical account of a little dog with a hankering for digging big holes.

    Digby watched the red digger making a hole. And he watched the hole getting bigger and bigger. Then Digby went looking for holes. He went dig, dig, dig like the red digger and he made those holes big, big, bigger. Oh no, Digby!

Ricky Rumsey's illustrations emphasise Digby's problem, that is his enthusiasm for digging holes. They characterise Digby and help readers to engage, see, understand and empathise with him, and to want to help him solve his problem.

Jill Eggleton

Jill Eggleton is an internationally recognised literacy consultant, teacher, and author of over 1000 children's books. She was appointed Companion of the Queen's Service Order (QSO) in the New Zealand 2010 New Year Honours for services to education and literacy. The same year, she was presented with Storylines' top award, the Margaret Mahy Medal, given annually for lifetime achievement and an outstanding contribution to children's literature and literacy.

Jill writes to engage children by captivating their minds while touching their hearts, to help them discover and make sense of the world, and to affirm their cultural identity. A hallmark feature of her work is the support she includes on the inside front and back covers for the reader. This maximises the listener's enjoyment and encourages a love of reading. The other important aspect of Jill's work is that social and emotional learning is authentically woven throughout all the fiction books she writes.
