Helping out around the house is a great idea, until things start to get a little too messy. You will relate to Tom, a busy young boy who decides to assist his father with painting a room. Naturally, Tom brings his favorite toy monkey, Pippo, along for the fun. But paint has a funny way of splashing exactly where it should not go. When the colorful mess becomes too big to hide, Tom does what any kid might do and blames his stuffed monkey for the disaster. This gentle and humorous story looks at how we handle mistakes and the clever excuses we invent along the way. It captures the warm understanding between a father and son, showing that sometimes making a mess is just part of the fun.
