Tom and Daddy are home today. Daddy wants to clean the house and do the dishes, but Tom wants to play. Quickly they come up with a solution: together they’ll try to conquer the dish monster and go on a quest in the jungle of socks, and, in the process, they will realize that we can all contribute and help out with chores.
A funny and familiar story about approaching household chores in a fun and engaging way. For adventurous dish pirates ages 4 years and up.
About the author
Johan KlungelAuthor
Dutch illustrator Johan Klungel makes picture books, comics, and animated movies. In addition, he creates films for museums and television, gives drawing workshops, and works as a live artist. Usually, he draws digitally, but sometimes he also uses pencils, pens, chalk, or paint. He likes to tell stories from a clear idea, and he prefers to do that with a lot of humor. Recurring topics in Johan’s work are nature and the endless imagination of children. While he does his drawing and filmmaking from his cozy studio, he prefers to write in the library. Johan lives with his partner and two children in Haarlem, the Netherlands. In his spare time, he enjoys watching the birds, working in his vegetable garden, and playing a small guitar.

What reviewers said
While Mommy is at work, a boy and his father complete chores with an imaginative twist. Tom is eager to play, but Daddy is overwhelmed with household tasks. When Daddy appoints Tom his assistant, the little boy decides that the dish brush is a pirate sword, and away they go, cleaning, organizing, and having fun. The “chore pirates” land on a tropical island and reunite “sock bird” pairs, bulldoze a volcano made up of messy toys, and even concoct a pot of magic. Klungel’s story is irresistibly playful. The illustrations are detailed and true to life. A messy kitchen table covered in everything…
"A refreshing take on the division of household labor that will appeal to little ones and their grown-ups."
