What is Lazy Jack about?
Lazy Jack would rather do nothing than work, but his mother finally sends him out to earn his keep. Each job brings a strange reward: a coin, a jug of milk, a cat and even a donkey. Unfortunately, Jack follows his mother’s advice far too literally, creating one ridiculous mishap after another. Yet his muddled journey leads him to a sad princess who has forgotten how to laugh. Can Lazy Jack’s silly behaviour bring happiness—and perhaps change his life forever?
