Ben's mother is painting the living room with nice, smooth, even strokes. Painting's hard work, so she settles down for a short nap. While she sleeps, Ben decides to finish the job. Nice, smooth, even strokes are boring, though, and Ben has a bright idea for livening up the job -- and the walls! But when the laddersomehowtips over, and the good chinasomehowgets broken, all Ben can do when his mom demands, Who did this? is point to his dog, Booboo -- a fib that has unexpected repercussions. Whimsical, color-drenched illustrations complement this fast-paced, funny story.
