Absolutely love this book. Amazing pictures and great story that my son just loves.

I once saw a display of this book and it's creation in the Australia Museum and I could see why. Progressively 1 then 2 then 3 different animals come to drink at the ever smaller waterhole. Stunning diagrams and like all Graeme Base's books there's always something more to find. In this case frogs; as the number of animals grow the number of frogs decline hidden away in the background. There is also the amazing detail you have to look close to find such as the reflection of the world in that first drop of water. Well worth having in your collection.
