Summary from copyright page: "As ever-growing numbers of animals visit a watering hole, introducing the numbers from one to ten, the water dwindles".
 
The Water Hole is a fusion of counting book, puzzle book, storybook and art book. Graeme Base takes the reader on a journey of discovery, from the plains of Africa and the jungles of the Amazon to the woodlands of North America and the deserts of the Australian outback.
