There Is Not Usually a Hole

A quirky, fun, and surreal story about new friendships (and snacks) for all curious little adventurers.
Betsy and her stuffed crocodile Philippa are out on a walk, when Betsy points to the ground. "There is not usually a hole."
Then something comes out of the hole. It is a banana. Followed by a number of other unexpected items. Betsy is content to watch what happens, but when Philippa disappears down the hole, Betsy has to go find her. From master picture book creator Daisy Hirst comes a story of friendship and sharing, and realizing that more is indeed merrier.
