Charlie is excited when he finds a hole! He picks it up and puts it in his pocket, but soon realizes that a hole in a pocket is no good at all. A hole in a backpack is even worse. Charlie tries to find a new owner for the hole: he asks a tailor, a road worker, and even a donut maker, but no one wants Charlie's hole. A small animal that has been following Charlie knows exactly what to do with it . . .
Written and illustrated by celebrated artist Kelly Canby, The Hole Story humorously reveals the magic of imagination and wordplay. Young readers will be inspired to discover their own magical holes.
