The picture book "Sam and David Dig a Hole"

Sam and David Dig a Hole is a work that won 20 15 Cadillac Silver Award. It was created by Jon klassen and Mike Banert and was called "a picture book with unexpected treasures" by the judges. Cadillac awards are similar to the Oscars in movies. The picture books that won the Cadillac Award are all brainless in our library.

A child named Sam and David went to dig a hole with a dog, chocolate milk and animal biscuits. They decided to explore. As a result, they dug and dug When they were about to dig for treasure, they decided to change direction. When they dug and dug, they immediately found the treasure. As a result, they changed direction again, always one step away from the treasure. Finally, their puppy smelled the bone. After digging through this hole, they fell and fell to the other side, a seemingly identical place. They thought they were home, so they went into the house to drink milk and eat animal biscuits. .

In the process of reading this book, I will sigh for the "great event" that David and Sam missed, because in my eyes, the escalating gem really looks irresistible, and the regret of passing by is unforgettable and even sad. Even dogs feel helpless about the hero's mistakes. He stared blankly at the direction of the diamond, and the subtext in his heart was probably our inner monologue: How did these two children dig around the gem? Isn't it futile to go on like this?

When I showed this book to Happy, I always wanted to convey the concept of "persistence" to her and tell her a lot. Maybe if you stick to it, success is just around the corner. But I'm glad I held back and closed the book. I asked her, do you think they have dug up "great things"? She said yes, I asked what it was, and she smiled and said bones. When Sam and David passed by the big diamond because they changed direction, she didn't regret it at all, but read it as a big joke: Dad, look, there is a big diamond there. They didn't see it, but I did. Finally, when Sam, David and the dog fell on the soft ground and turned away with tools, the children still remembered Doby and them. They must have hurt their asses when they fell from a height. Then they said, did you find this tree different from the previous one? At this time, I turned the book to the front and found that it was really different. The red tulip at the door turned into a blue sunflower, and the weather vane on the roof changed from a rooster. Children are natural observers.

This book is really popular with children. Its language is unpretentious and its painting style is clear and meticulous. Two good friends look exactly alike except for their clothes. This expression is the language of children. For example, these two boys, David always has new ideas, and Sam is his loyal supporter. Just like our children playing with friends, one person always gives an idea and the other agrees, so they can become good friends. Perhaps this book, in the eyes of adults, is really a story that does not only belong to childhood. Bigger and bigger diamonds are like regrets in life. Sometimes I work hard, but I don't know if hope is really in sight. Should I give up or insist? Adults who study will always regret that these two little guys missed one diamond after another, but just like David and Sam in the book finally returned to a warm home, carefree, children's interest is digging holes instead of diamonds.
