  A mournful princess sits at her castle window. Meanwhile, Jack (probably the laziest person in the world) is sent out to work by his mother. On his first day he is paid a shiny coin, but he drops it on the way home. You should have put it in your jacket pocket! cries his mother. So the next day, having worked for a dairyman, he pours the jug of milk he is given in payment into his jacket pocket! In fact, he always follows his mother's most recent advice when bringing home his day's earnings: it results in the most ridiculous scenarios. But carrying home the donkey makes the mournful princess laugh, and that really is a good thing! Tony Ross trained at the Liverpool School of Art. He has worked as a cartoonist, graphic designer, and art director of an advertising agency. He taught art for many years at Manchester Polytechnic. He now works as a full time author and illustrator and is one of Britain's most prolific and acclaimed children's book illustrators.
