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
