Age: Preschool-2nd grade

I can see a crowd of kids slapping their palms to their foreheads as these two well-meaning boys try to dig for treasure while always just missing treasure by doubting themselves and veering course. At least the dog got his bone. The ending is also a silly puzzler. Throughout the book, you kinda wonder how they are going to climb back up but and a very direct, no nonsense answer is given--they fall back to Earth. Duh.
