When eccentric Uncle Frank comes to visit, the narrator's family expects him to stay only a short while. But Uncle Frank detects something special buried in their back yard. He digs and digs and stays and stays. Just when the family thinks he'll never leave, he hits pay dirt. Droll illustrations show Uncle Frank's underground home in all its glory.
