From the international bestselling author of Animalia!
"An absorbing visual feast." --Kirkus Reviews
"Beautifully illustrated animal fantasy . . . Children will savor the
gorgeous, animal-packed spreads." --Booklist
For fans of Graeme Base's international bestseller Animalia, an
exciting and fun new counting book that makes numbers as engaging as a
vibrant jungle full of wild animals!
One Rhino drinking at the water hole.
"Snort, splosh!" (Mmm, delicious!)
Two Tigers lapping at the water hole.
"Grrrrr!" (Goodness gracious, how very delectable!)
Three Toucans squawking around the water hole.
"Ark, ark! Arrrk!" (It's party time, fellas! Drink up!)
Children will love counting from one to ten as animals of the world
gather around a water hole. As one rhino gives way to two tigers, then
three toucans, on up to ten kangaroos, die-cut pages reveal the water
hole in ten different worldwide habitats, from African plains to
Himalayan mountains to the Australian outback.
But the water hole keeps shrinking, and with it the number of frolicking
frogs. Can anything bring back the water that the animals all need to
survive?
No parent or child will ever be disappointed in getting Graeme Base's
Water Hole as a gift. Its colors and humor are timeless. Careful
readers will find additional animals, many of them endangered,
silhouetted in the borders of every spread and hiding within every
landscape.
A stunning fusion of counting book, puzzle book, storybook, and art
book, The Water Hole features the layers of interest that make Graeme
Base's books among the world's best-loved picture books. It's a book
children will ask to be read again and again.
