Description

Jamie O’Rourke is the laziest man in all of Ireland, far too lazy to help his wife on their farm. Then, after a chance encounter with a leprechaun, Jamie finds himself growing the biggest potato in the world. But what will happen when the potato grows too large for Jamie and the villagers to handle?

Praise for Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato:"This delightful Irish tale is just perfect for St. Patty's day storytelling." –Children's Book Review Service"This inspired Irish folktale clearly illustrates that taking the easy way out is sometimes more trouble than it's worth . . . DePaola' s characteristic homespun style and round, childlike faces add plenty of zip to this silly story." –­Publishers Weekly"Illustrated in dePaola's signature style, this has an inviting look. Buoyant watercolors are framed by thin orange borders . . . An engaging read-aloud choice for St. Patrick's Day." –Booklist"A cheery picture book, with the artist using the lighter, brighter side of his palette . . . Attractive and amusing." –Kirkus Reviews
