The Waterhole
By Graeme Base
London : Penguin Books, 2001
1v. (unpaged) :co.ill.; 29cm.


The animals gather at the waterhole to drink. Different animals from different continents cover each page and watch the waterhole gradually disappear.
The Waterhole is a mixture of counting book, puzzle book, storybook and stunning art book.
Water is the under-pinning theme. The text is brief with humorous subscript and the illustrations are wonderful in their colour and detail, both which will hugely appeal to children.
