Best of Base

This is one awesome book. Buy it and read it to your kids. They'll love it. It kept the school kids engrossed from start to finish.
Wow GREAT book

great

All of Graeme Base's books are absolutely stunning from the story to the illustrations. The story is wonderful and only exceeded by the gorgeous illustrations. This book can be read cover to cover but then it is also fun to go back and solve on the hidden puzzles.

Truly Inspiring

One of my favorite children's book, "The Water Hole" is loaded with goodies of all sorts. Masterfully painted animals and creatures of all sorts from around the globe. As an artist I am truly inspired by the gifts and talents that Graeme Base so seemingly effortlessly portrays in his works of art. This book is truly clever and is garanteed to capture the attention of any child or adult for that matter.

I was first introduced to Graeme's work in about 2003 at the San Diego Zoo, I could not put the book down. Amazed and wishing I had his skills. I can't imagine the time it takes for just one single page, the patience, the energy and the creativity. The book is chock full of stunning and clever imagery, not to mention one can learn and count from this book. I highly recommend this book.

The Water Hole

I ordered 2 copies of Graeme Base's "The Water Hole" and received them in perfect condition. Packaging was excellent. The books are wonderful and very entertaining for my grand-daughters!

Riley's new favorite book

I purchased this beautiful book for the grandson of a friend. He's a cool little guy. When he saw the book, he started giggling and smiling so wide I thought his face would break. This is a gorgeous book to be enjoyed over and over.

The long-awaited companion to the best-selling Animalia!

Graeme Base is back-with an exciting and fun new counting book! Children will love counting from one to 10 as animals of the world gather around a water hole. As one rhino gives way to two tigers, then three 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. But the water hole keeps shrinking, and with it the number of frolicking frogs. Can anything bring back the water that the animals all need to survive? Careful readers will find additional animals, many of them endangered, silhouetted in the borders of every spread and hiding within every landscape.

A stunning fusion of counting book, puzzle book, storybook, and art book, The Water Hole features the layers of interest that make Graeme Base's books among the world's best-loved picture books.
