"A companion to the resplendent Papá’s Magical Water-Jug Clock, Trejo and Kinkz’s latest collaboration amuses with similar madcap humor and shenanigans, focusing on [a] supportive mother-son relationship….the miniature scamp’s hijinks and wry observations bring the laughs to the forefront." —Kirkus Reviews
“Once again, Jesús is back with an entertaining and hilarious adventure about an innocent misunderstanding. Not only does this one teach you about plants and how to care for them, (and what not to do with them), it's laugh-out-loud funny!” – Bookpeople
“I love everything about this book. I love the scribbly art, I love the mix of English and Spanish, I love all the expressions on the plants, and I love Jesús and his adorable novela-esk dramatics…. A cute, hilarious book about plants, dealing with boredom, and learning what to do when you break something precious.” – Barbara’s Bookstore
“Jesus Trejo did it again! A beautiful book accompanied with amazing illustrations! It is always so refreshing and moving when I stumble on a children's book that reminds me of my upbringing.” – Wild Sisters Book Club
"[T]he story will delight any Spanish-level listener." —Booklist
