I am not a fan of this book. The illustrations look like something you would find on adult swim, and I think the story belongs there as well. Chatur wasn't to keep his business afloat and he wants his donkey to haul more and more. But the donkey doesn't want to do it. So he trades the donkey in on an elephant, and the elephant does everything mater wishes for, even if it ends up bad for the master. I did not like this story. It made me think of a slave, no longer wanting to be a slave. No thank you.

The title describes the job of the lead character perfectly: he rides around on his donkey, looking for people who need their clothes cleaned. Too bad he doesn’t work in my neighborhood. (Which reminds me I have to do laundry today; thanks!)
The donkey says, “Ya gotta take it easy, man.” More than once. His lazy attitude gets him replaced with a subservient elephant, who’s the answer to the laundry man’s entrepreneurial dreams. . . until he screws up on the day of the royal wedding.
On the one hand, karma did bite him in the ass—his ass, not the donkey—at the end, but at least the royals didn’t kill him.
The cartoonish artwork makes it just right for little kids, though I doubt many of them need to know just yet not to place their friends over profit.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

I gave this book 3 stars. It is a fairly light-hearted story with a good moral to it that is easy to read. I really liked the images that were used.
