I liked her books for older children a lot more, but I guess this is ok for little ones.

Jimmy and his twin are different. He likes real things so when his father gave him a shovel he was determined to dig the perfect hole.

A four year old boy tries to build a hole but doesn't want his twin sister to play it. In the end they needed to work together and solve the problem what to do with the hole once it was dug up.
