Unfortunately he's got another surprise in store - he's leaving them. Will Dad's well-meaning but chaotic attempts to keep seeing Em and the other children help the family come to terms with this new crisis?

The flood

Nigel Gray & Elise Hurst

"When the rain comes pouring down Mrs Farmer has no choice but to let the farm animals inside with some very funny results. She ends up with dogs in the kitchen, pigs in the laundry, cows in the dining room, sheep in the sitting room & hens that lay eggs in all sorts of surprising places. When the water recedes she sends them all back outside ... but not for long. A delightful story about finding companionship in unlikely places."--Provided by publisher.
