Quickly discovered by the Irish media, the thumbing Englishman finds that he and his box fridge are elevated to celebrity status, and there's no dearth of rides, places to stay or goofy people to meet, from kings to spoons players to locals who take his fridge surfing. Out of this stupid premise, a ridiculously amusing book was born. For years, he was wont to tell the tale during late-night drinking matches, and after one particularly heavy-duty night of partying, he awoke to find a bet scrawled pillow-side: a friend wagered 100 pounds that Hawks wouldn't travel Ireland for a month with a refrigerator at his side.

You will need to look closely at all the detail, in every item, in each relatively sparse spread, but if you do, the payoff is a huge laugh. While Sam and Dave dig, with their dog keeping a watchful eye, their cat sits atop the hole looking in at the boys’ progress. The humor is subtle-just under the surface (pun intended). This is a delightful book young children, especially young boys, will enjoy. I enjoyed Sam & Dave Dig a Hole immensely. All the while Sam and Dave find nothing, until. When the boys fail to find something after digging a hole “so deep their heads were underground,” Sam and Dave change course and dig sideways, then they split up and dig up on a diagonal, then back down again until, tired from digging, the two boys fall asleep. Along with Sam and Dave is their dog (no name). They could find a dinosaur bone or maybe dig all the way to China. The premise of Sam & Dave Dig a Hole is simple: the two boys are on a mission to find something spectacular and are determined to dig until they find something. “Sam and Dave are digging a hole, and they will not stop until they find something spectacular.” When it comes to Frances, my experience with high school and preparing for college was slightly less intense than hers but I still found myself relating to her experience a lot. When it comes to Aled, I can't relate to his relationship with his mother but I can DEFINITELY relate to his experience with being at university and some of the feelings he had for it, but mostly his reaction to being there. So, I'm just going to say this:I relate to Frances and Aled a lot and I have so much love for them and so many feelings about them. I've been thinking about what I want to say in my review for this book all day and honestly? I stayed up until 5 am this morning finishing this book and I still don't know how to put all my feelings into words.
