Mischief at the Waterhole — Gail Clarke

The sun is blazing in the sky. Elephant, Giraffe, Lion, Cheetah, Zebra and Snake are tired, grumpy and very, very hot. They would love to find a way to cool down.

Monkey, who enjoys all sorts of mischief, hears them grumbling. He thinks of a cheeky way to help his friends and play a funny trick on them.

Aimed at the three-to-nine-year olds, Mischief at the Waterhole is a beautifully illustrated and hilarious children's reader told in verse that leaves children giggling at mischievous Monkey's antics.

Mischief at the Waterhole is now included in Gail Clarke's entertaining presentations to schoolchildren around the world -- since 2010, more than 35,000 children in Hong Kong, Phuket, Bangkok, Dubai, Sri Lanka, Kenya and England have loved learning from Gail about animal migration, writing and illustrating, and, of course, hearing her stories. In these presentations, Gail is always enthusiastically assisted by glove puppets of Patrick the African grey parrot and his great-grandpa Gilbert, Cosmos the Curious Whale and Chameleon.
