Fin is extremely forgetful-he wears slippers to school and comes home without his pants. So it's no surprise when he leaves the tap running . . . until it floods the world! Who will be outraged, and who will be overjoyed?
"An ideal read-aloud, this wacky tale takes an intriguing premise and, using childlike logic, follows it to a most outlandish conclusion . . . . Dripping with fun!"-Kirkus Reviews
