Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato

A hilarious read-aloud inspired by Irish folklore that's perfect for St. Patrick's Day, featuring colorful artwork in Tomie dePaola's signature style.

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?
