This is an interesting book about a young boy’s experience with painting the sitting room of his house. The boy’s father decided that it was time to repaint their sitting room but instead of hiring a painter to do the job, the man decided that they should do the painting by themselves. The boy and his siblings joined their father to do the painting. You would think this is a straightforward thing but the boy’s story was full of intrigues and excitement as he narrated what it took them to accomplish the task.
