July 2018 Book of the Month
This clearly written visually stunning book will have children jumping in to learn all about a wide variety of topics – history, nature, science, medicine, even philosophy: who’d have thought that holes could contain so much? They are a passion of the author and his enthusiasm spills onto the pages.
Whether he’s looking at natural holes, manmade holes, holes in humans (mouth, nose, eyes, bottom), or the ways holes have been described in maths and philosophy, the information presented is fascinating and often dramatic. The painterly illustrations match the text for depth, and are often quite beautiful to look at. Like the best non-fiction, this is full of answers but will leave readers ready to ask more questions.
Holes presents a unique look at our world. It combines a fascinating and unusual choice of subject matter with stunning illustration, making it an accessible and enjoyable read even for younger ages. Delve into this fascinating book of holes to discover a world of burrows and boreholes, subways and sinkholes.

Split into five main sections that make it easy to navigate, it takes us on a journey that encompasses science and nature as well as the human experience, burrowing in to philosophy, myth, the arts, religion, sport, music and architecture - all through the medium of holes!
