Jamie O'Rourke is the laziest man of all Ireland. He'll do anything to
avoid having to work. When his poor wife's back gives out before she's able to harvest the
potatoes, it looks as if Jamie will go hungry all winter. But Jamie is as lucky as he is
lazy, and one morning he traps himself a leprechaun, from whom he wins a single wish. What
does Jamie O'Rourke wish for? All the potatoes he can eat. But this time Jamie may have
bitten off more than he can chew. Half Irish himself, Tomie dePaola is enthusiastic about
passing on this colorful folktale - and with it, perhaps a bit of the luck of the Irish
too! 32 pages. Ages 4-8.
