Description

Down to the secret waterhole the animals all come,
As seasons bring forth drought and flood, they gather there as one.
United in their common need, their numbers swell to ten,
But hidden deep amongst the trees lie ten times that again!


The Waterholeis an ingenious fusion of counting book, puzzle book, storybook and art book - an exhilarating journey of discovery, from the plains of Africa and the jungles of the Amazon to the woodlands of North America and the deserts of outback Australia.


From Graeme Base, the creator of the international best-seller Animalia, here is a stunning new picture book with an exquisite cast of characters and a timeless, life-affirming theme.
