When Charlie finds a hole, he is excited to have it all to himself. He puts it in his pocket and soon realizes that having a hole comes with all sorts of problems. He goes all over town to find someone else to take it. Unfortunately, nobody wants it. What should Charlie do? Who else would like to take the hole?

The Hole Story is wonderfully illustrated, with some pages that made me laugh out loud. It is easy to read, especially for the 3 - 5 year old age group. I was left wanting more dialogue at the end about who took the hole. I feel this is a missed opportunity to talk about what lives in holes. Overall, it is a cute book!… (mere)
