She’s digging for treasure. / Will Baby get lucky?

Big Jobs for Little Babies is a board book series exploring the core basics of major careers and how they relate to a physical activity toddlers love!

In Who’s Digging? take a look into the many vocations that involve digging—from a palaeontologist unearthing fossils to a garden-tending farmer! With a fun, simple rhyme, five dramatic gatefold reveals, and a high-quality mirror on the final page of this sturdy board book, Who’s Digging? will nurture the youngest explorer’s curiosity about the world and their own bright futures.
