What is The Waterhole about?
As the seasons change, animals from around the world gather at a shrinking waterhole. Count from one to ten as rhinos, tigers, toucans, kangaroos and many other creatures arrive to drink. Look closely at each richly detailed scene to discover hidden animals and clues about different habitats, from African plains to the Australian outback. Part counting book, part puzzle and part story, this beautifully illustrated journey explores the importance of water and the delicate balance of nature.
