Phoebe's digger is taken by a big girl. Can she get it back?
Phoebe's world changes with a new baby in the house, but her trusty digger keeps her company. At the park, while Mama is preoccupied, a bigger girl with grabby hands snatches Phoebe's beloved toy. As Phoebe faces this unexpected challenge, she must find a way to reclaim her digger. Will she succeed, or is it lost forever? Dive into Phoebe's playful yet poignant adventure, where the stakes are high and the dirt is real.
With a new baby taking up Mama’s time and attention, what will happen when Phoebe needs her? When Mama got a new baby, Phoebe got a new digger. And when Mama is busy with the baby, Phoebe and Digger are busy, too: “Waa!” says the baby. “Rmm!” says Digger. Poop! goes the baby. “Rmm!” says Digger. Finally, Mama says it’s time to go to the park, the one with real dirt – and while Mama and the baby sit on the boring bench, Phoebe and Digger happily build and knock down and dig things up. That is, until a big girl comes by, a kid with mean teeth and grabby hands. Phoebe tries everything she can, but what if she never gets Digger back? Comical illustrations and a spot-on story are sure to make readers of all ages smile in recognition.
