Lazy Tinka is a classic book that is about a very lazy girl who doesn't want to do any chores and states that she would like to be like the animals who have such an easy life. She then learns that all of the animals in fact DO have chores that they actually perform in order to live. Very good book to teach children about how everyone has to chip in to make a family run smoothly. Very beautiful illustrations.
