As one rhino gives way to two tigers on up to ten kangaroos, die-cut pages reveal the water hole in ten different worldwide habitats, from African plains to Himalayan mountains to the Australian outback, in a beautifully illustrated counting book. This book had some of the best illustrations I have seen in awhile. They were very detailed and really would grasp anyones attention no matter the age reading the book. I like how the story started positive and ended on a positive note, because during the middle of the book the story had a negative outlook. Add, I agree, who can resist these illustrations? You would find something new each time you read it! "Who can resist the allure of the hidden wilderness water hole? Certainly not one rhino. Not two tigers. Nor three toucans. Pretty soon the delicious pool is drawing moose, catfish, pandas, tortoises... and more than 100 other critters from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and beyond. But is it our imagination or is that rhino-sized water hole dwindling to a mere shadow of its former self, a puddle not fit for eight ladybugs, let alone 10 kangaroos? As the seasons change across the world, and the animals get thirstier, the water supply diminishes. Eventually, even the flowery-shirted frog that has stoically lingered through the drought packs his suitcase and takes off. The only hope now is a drop of rain on the parched earth..." The Water Hole has amazing illustrations. The pages have a water hole on each two page spreed. there is a cut out portion of the water hole adding depth to the picture. Different animals for different countries each visit to water hole. with each animal the number raises from one to ten. as the number of animals rise the water hole shrinks. There are animal hidden in the background. "As ever-growing number of animals visit a watering hole, introducing the number from one to ten, the water dwindles." sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
