El Barrilito Mágico de Papá

In this Spanish-language edition of Mexican American comedian Jesus Trejo's debut picture book, little Jes?s makes a big, funny mistake as he works alongside his landscaper pap?, but father and son find a heartwarming solution. Little Jes?s is excited to spend a Saturday with his landscaper Pap? at the "family business." He loves Pap?'s cool truck and all the tools he gets to use. Pap? even puts him in charge of the magical water jug, which is also a clock! When it's empty, Pap? explains, the workday will be done. It's a big job, and Jes?s wants to do it right. But he just can't help giving water to an array of thirsty animals--a dog in a sweater, some very old cats, and a flock of peacocks. Before he knows it, the magical water jug is empty--but the workday's not over yet! Will Jes?s be fired?! This mischievous tale of a very young comedian's life lesson will warm hearts and have class clowns, practical jokers, and all high-spirited kids nodding in sympathy.
