Text in Spanish.;Translation of: Papa's magical water-jug clock. "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?"--Provided by publisher.
