BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Jesus gets to help his dad on Saturdays. The family business is gardening and dad has a magical water-jug clock. Throughout the day they'll drink the water and when the water is done, the job is done. But, Jesus is helping today. So he shares the water with some cats and a dog and before long the big jug is empty - but the day isn't finished. Maybe it's not so magical after all.
I thought the title was cumbersome, so I kept putting it further down my TBR pile. I should have read it first! What a delightful story! AJ liked it too. We love how Jesus is so innocent that he's giving away all the water, and, we loved his father's reactions. A great lesson was learned, that would be valuable for any family - it's better to have fun when you are working together, but it's important to be responsible. The characters are Hispanic.
