Charming, humorous book

Charming and humorous, one of my favorite books for children. Euphonia lives by the motto "If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing well". When the creek floods in front of her house, Euphonia packs Fatly the pig, who does everything "fatly", and Briskly the broom,who does everything "briskly", into Mary Anne the boat, who does "very nicely thank you". They set off to see where the flood is going, rescuing critters along the way. At the end, they arrive at farm where a great picnic lunch is set up waiting for them. Fun to read aloud. Love it.
