The theme for our library’s summer reading program this year is pirates, and so all of the books from this week’s storytime had some type of water or sea theme. My favorite of the bunch was The Water Hole by Graeme Base.
I’d never read one of Base’s books, and when I mentioned to one of the other moms how much I liked The Water Hole and commented on how amazing the illustrations are, she started raving about Base’s book, Animalia. I’m not sure how I missed experiencing this author’s work until now, but I’m looking forward to checking out a few more and delving into all of the beautiful illustrations with my kids. I have a feeling there will be a lot of growling tiger noises, snorting rhino sounds, and much more!
