Exhausted, they fall asleep, but the dog digs after a bone it senses below. On they dig, tunneling in different directions, and each effort reveals (to readers) yet larger jewels evading them. Each time they near one, the increasingly grubby boys maddeningly change course. Readers occupy a superior position as cross-section illustrations reveal those jewels buried just out of the shovels’ reach.
Their quest to find the spectacular brings them painfully and humorously close to buried jewels as they spade their way into the ground, accompanied by an intrepid canine companion.
When Sam and Dave dig a hole, readers get “something spectacular.”
