Lazy Jack is so lazy and impractical that he can barely do anything
at all. His mother gets so tired of his uselessness that she threatens
to banish him from the home if he cannot go out and find work. So Jack
wanders out into the world, seeking work on different farms. What ensues
is a hilarious series of botched attempts as he begins to take his
Mother's guidance word for word, remaining incapable of seeing that
every new situation requires something unique. His impracticality
results in silly scenarios such as an attempt to carry a Donkey home in a
basket! But Lazy Jack's ridiculousness pays off when he happens to
lighten the Spirits of someone who has forgotten how to laugh.
Written and illustrated by class teacher Kelly Morrow, Lazy Jack is one
of four introductory readers (in this case a very humorous one).
The
author is a trained reading specialist and has used her skills to
provide young children with adequate material as they take up the
wonderful adventure of learning to read.
