Pap 's Magical Water-Jug Clock Summary

Pap 's Magical Water-Jug Clock by Jesus Trejo

Is this jug really magical? In Mexican American comedian Jesus Trejo's debut picture book, little Jesus makes a big, funny mistake as he works alongside his landscaper papa, but father and son find a heartwarming solution. Little Jesus is excited to spend a Saturday with his landscaper Papa at the family business. He loves Papa's cool truck and all the tools he gets to use. Papa even puts him in charge of the magical water jug, which is also a clock! When it's empty, Papa explains, the workday will be done. It's a big job, and Jesus 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 Jesus 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.
