When Alfie's parents go out for the evening it seems that babysitter Maureen's bedtime story of Noah's Ark is coming true for, as Alfie announces, 'It's raining on the landing.' Maureen knows what's happened - a burst pipe - but she needs her mum and dad's help to stem the flood. Meanwhile Alfie plays in the puddles and poor Annie Rose gets very wet too, though not from the ceiling. As ever Shirley Hughes weaves her unfailing magic with words and pictures to create a warm glow of pleasure for readers and listeners alike.
