In this Spanish-language edition of Mexican American comedianJesos Trejo's debut picture book, little Jesos makes a big, funny mistake as he works alongside his landscaper papa, but father and son find a heartwarming solution.

Little Jesos 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 Jesos 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 Jesos 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.
