THERE'S A HOLE IN THE LOG ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE

Loren Long

Built for giggles and fun read-alouds, this classic children's song has been adapted by #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of Love and Otis, Loren Long!
Some know it as "There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea." Loren Long's wife, Tracy, grew up with a midwestern father who used to sing a version in which the sea was recast as a lake (it being the midwest, after all). And boy did he love that song, turning long car trips into a mixture of torture and delight with verse after verse. Call it whatever you want -- this classic children's song invites laughter and audience participation; the sillier the lyrics, the better.

A cumulative text featuring repetition and tongue-twisters combine with gorgeous illustrations from New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long for a book kids will clamor for at storytime. Endpapers include sheet music for kids and parents to have their own singalong!

Loren Long is the author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling Otis series. He's also the illustrator of the #1 New York Times bestseller Of Thee I Sing by Barack Obama, as well as the re-illustrated, #1 New York Times bestseller The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper. He lives in a suburb of Cincinnati with his wife, two sons, and two Weimaraners.
