A stunning fusion of counting book, puzzle book, storybook, and art book with timeless colors and humor from Graeme Base, the international bestselling creator of Animalia.
The Water Hole is a spectacular visual feast that's more than just a book--it's an immersive experience for the whole family, perfect for repeated exploration.
Children will love counting from 1 to 10 as animals of the world gather around a water hole. As 1 rhino gives way to 2 tigers, then 3 toucans, on up to 10 kangaroos, die-cut pages reveal the water hole in 10 different worldwide habitats, from African plains to Himalayan mountains to the Australian outback.
The Water Hole is an ingenious fusion of:
- A Counting Book: Count along from one African Rhino to ten Australian Kangaroos as animals from different continents gather to quench their thirst.
- A Global Story: Journey across diverse, vividly illustrated habitats--from the African plains to the Amazonian jungle to the Himalayan mountains.
- A Puzzle Book: Challenge yourself to find theten times ten (one hundred!) other creatures cleverly camouflaged within the stunning artwork on every page.
Watch as the water hole itself gets smaller with each turn of the die-cut pages, visually reinforcing the book's timely and life-affirming message aboutecological balance, conservation, and the precious nature of water.
The Water Hole features the layers of interest that make Graeme Base's books among the world's best-loved picture books. Careful readers will find additional animals, many of them endangered, silhouetted in the borders of every spread and hiding within every landscape. It's a book children will ask to be read again and again.
This timeless classic sparks curiosity, numeracy, and a love for our planet's wildlife. Perfect for ages 4-8.
