Paperback / Hardback

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 WATERHOLE is 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.

‘This new and wonderful picture book provides a feast for the eyes and teasing for the mind. It is a book to be shared, the kind of book that readers will never tire of revisiting – there is always more to explore.’ -READING TIME

‘There is clarity, depth, restraint and detail, all here in a book which is delightful, thoughtful and insightful. I love it!’ -MAGPIES

‘Exquisite barely begins to describe this breathtakingly beautiful picture book by one of Australia’s most talented and successful author/illustrator.’ -THE SUNDAY TASMANIAN
