Reach for this book when you find yourself constantly saying no or feeling frustrated by a high energy child or pet who creates accidental messes. It provides a much needed exhale for parents and children alike by normalizing the chaos of daily life and prioritizing connection over perfection. The story follows Tucker, a well meaning but incredibly bouncy dog who unintentionally wreaks havoc during his morning routine: knocking over the breakfast table, spilling the laundry, and upending the trash. Through simple, rhythmic text and humorous illustrations, children see that while their actions might cause temporary trouble, they are still deeply loved. This is an ideal pick for ages 4 to 7, especially for those who struggle with impulse control or the 'clumsy' stage of development. It serves as a gentle reminder that a mess is just a mess, but family is forever.
