Bookroo's summary

Digger the Dinosaur wants to join his friends for a baseball game, but there's a catch—his room must be spotless first. As he rushes to tidy up, his big tail and feet create chaos instead. Will Digger manage to clean up and make it to the game on time? This delightful tale of a well-meaning dinosaur captures the playful spirit of childhood, with colorful illustrations that bring Digger's adventures to life. Perfect for young readers, this story combines fun and learning in a race against time.

From the publisher

Digger the Dinosaur may be huge, but he has the heart of a preschooler. He loves to help but gets mixed up a lot. In Digger the Dinosaur, Digger wants to play baseball with his friends. But he isn’t allowed to go out until he’s cleaned his room. Digger starts cleaning at top speed, but the faster he moves the messier his room gets. His big tail and big feet aren’t helping! Will Digger win the race to tidy his room and get to the game on time? Gynux’s full-color illustrations capture Digger’s lovable personality. Digger the Dinosaur is a My First I Can Read book. That means it’s perfect for shared reading with a child.
