About the Book: “The Waterhole” is an ingenious fusion of a counting book, puzzle book, storybook, and art book that takes readers on an exhilarating journey to a secret waterhole where animals from around the world gather. The book’s central puzzle involves readers counting the animals that come to the waterhole—first ten, then ten times that amount—while also discovering the hidden animals within the detailed illustrations. The story follows the animals’ gathering as seasons change from drought to flood, uniting them in their common need for water.
