2yo Chooch isn't a baby anymore. He likes to help, but his helping isn't always helpful. The adults just smile and let him participate, but when he ruins a pot his sister is making, she gets angry and yells at him. Her parents yell at her. Time for a family meeting, and a story about helping and teaching. 

I loved the illustrations representing all the ways Chooch helped. I can see reading this with a child and identifying what the job is and what Chooch is doing that isn't actually helping. I loved the Cherokee names and how to pronounce them. A darling story of family experiencing a universal problem. Chooch and his family are Cherokee
