- Mother Lydia, unlike her husband, is very hardworking. She weaves the most beautiful baskets, hats and furniture out of bullrushes and reeds.
- Father Water spends most of his time fishing from a lily pad, singing in his rough croaky voice. He is also infamous for singing as he drives the village bus around Sylvania.
- Sister Lily has a very good voice, unlike her father. In fact, she wants to be an opera singer when she grows up!
- Brother Algermon is known as Algy to his school friends. He takes after his hardworking mother and loves to help her by collecting bullrushes and reeds.
- Baby Sister Iris on the other hand, hates being bathed. When it's her turn in the tub she cries and bawls and splashes the water about.
- Baby Brother Moses adores having baths. He spends hours splashing about with his rubber ducks and all of his other bath-time toys.
