Is this jug really magical? In Mexican American comedian Jess Trejo's debut picture book, little Jess makes a big, funny mistake as he works alongside his landscaper pap, but father and son find a heartwarming solution. Little Jess 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 Jess 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 Jess be fired?! Or is the jug not really magical after all? 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.
