Lump, the world-famous artist Pablo Picasso's dog, loves cake. He can never have enough! But when he takes a bite out of a beautiful cake he finds in the garden, he discovers it's not cake at all-it's made of metal-and realizes not everything is what it seems. Lump and his friend, the goat Esmeralda, meet other animals in the yard and learn that they are made from surprising things: She-Goat tells how Picasso made her from broken lamps and tin cans, Baboon explains that her head is made of toy cars and metal strips, and Crane shows off her delicate legs made from forks.

This delightful book brings Picasso's villa in Cannes to life and explains how the artist, ever inventive and playful, made sculptures from different materials using different techniques throughout his long career. Readers learn about the joy and freedom sculpture brought to Picasso's life and art.
