Jamie O’Rourke and the Big Potato – An Irish Folktale

by Tomie dePaola
(ages 2-6) Jamie is the laziest man in all of Ireland. After a series of events, including some unfortunate, and an encounter with a leprechaun, Jamie ends up with a huge potato. It was so big that it had to be shared with all the townspeople. By the time summer was over and everyone had eaten more potato than they ever wanted, they were sick and tired of eating so much potato. How will this benefit the laziest man in all of Ireland? You'll have to read to find out! Full of Tomie's signature charm along with some Irish speech.
