Thulani enjoys sitting in the sun, and he is tired of milking his cow. When he sells his cow to buy a goat, however, his problems are just beginning. What will it take for his luck change? "This is a fresh, funny variation on the 'Lazy Jack' theme, with illustrations done in a folkart style and filled with little details of South African rural life." — Barbara Kiefer, School Library Journal
