Review by Kirkus Book Review
Water, water everywhere…all thanks to Fin. Fin, a young, light-skinned boy, forgets everything, from making his bed to switching off the light to wearing his pants. One fateful evening, he leaves the bathroom sink running after brushing his teeth and washing his face. The sink begins to overflow in the middle of the night, and the deluge of water eventually floods the entire world. Talk about water pressure! The next morning, a delegation of fish collects Fin and takes him to the Fish King, who thanks Fin for allowing aquatic creatures to finally explore the land above. Fin becomes a splash…until the next morning when a delegation of birds comes to collect him. They present Fin to the Bird Queen, who points out that every creature who lived on land is now taking up space in the sky. Mortified, Fin decides to put things right. An ideal read-aloud, this wacky tale takes an intriguing premise and, using childlike logic, follows it to a most outlandish conclusion--and the ultimate return to normalcy is equally rewarding. The illustrations enhance the story greatly, creating a world of large-eyed characters whose expressions tell countless stories themselves. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Dripping with fun!
