《The Water Hole》是澳大利亞作家格雷姆·貝斯（Graeme Base）於2004年創作的兒童繪本，由Puffin Books出版。該書延續其代表作《Animalia》的視覺敘事風格，結合計數書與解謎書的設計，通過多層次互動展現自然主題。
全書以逐漸乾涸的水坑為線索，帶領讀者觀察非洲草原、亞馬遜叢林等全球十大生態系統。每頁插畫隱藏動物圖形與地標符號，兒童可通過尋找細節進行數字認知與環境探索。隨著水量遞減和動物遷徙，畫面中隱含的生態變化線索逐步顯現，借視覺語言傳遞自然共生理念。書中採用洞洞書設計增強互動性，在遊戲化閱讀中融入地理與環保教育。

內容簡介
In the tradition of his best-selling alphabet book, Animalia, author and illustrator Graeme Base takes young readers on an exhilarating journey of discovery with an ingenious fusion of counting book, puzzle book, storybook, and art book. From the plains of Africa and the jungles of the Amazon to the woodlands of North America and the deserts of outback Australia, the animals come together to drink from the water hole. But their water supply is diminishing. What’s going on? Each sumptuous landscape illustration conceals hidden animal pictures for readers to find as they count the animals that visit the water hole and try to solve the mystery: will the animals come back or is their water source gone forever?
