Phoebe And Digger (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

I suspect the boy enjoyed it, because of the fun Phoebe and Digger had at the playground, and the girl was able to relate to the negative feelings that having a new sibling can bring, and I could identify with the overwhelmed mum, who at the end manages to create love and understanding between Phoebe and herself (and therefore between Phoebe and the baby) by her matter-of-fact dealing with the bully. We were lucky enough to have the author, Tricia Springstubb, visit our school. I had lunch with her and I can't say enough about what a lovely, warm, talented person she is. I was able to ask her questions about the idea behind her books, and her writing process. I have read this book to approximately 300 children and they all loved it - I suggested to the author that she write some more Phoebe and Digger books - hopefully she will! I am also going to ask publishers to reprint some of her earlier children's books - I would love to get them for my library!
