Tales from the Waterhole (Candlewick Sparks) - Tapa blanda

"A warm ode to the unplanned days of summer. Friends of George and Martha or Frog and Toad will read these stories over and over." — KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred review)


Morris the crocodile and his best friend, Billy, a tortoise, like nothing better than messing around at the waterhole with their animal friends. In five amusing stories, Morris and company do just what kids do during a hot summer —- perform ill-timed stunts on the diving board, get beaten in soccer by a team of moms, and see their wildebeest friends off on vacation (aka their annual migration). By turns wry and laugh-out-loud funny, Bob Graham’s whimsical waterhole gang pays tribute to the merriment and mishaps of young friendships everywhere.
