Jamie O'Rourke and the Pooka

(2) K-3 In this good-humored tale about the folly of counting on someone else to do your work, Jamie O'Rourke, "the laziest man in all of Ireland," and his cronies have a grand time while his wife is away, but the house ends up a mess. When a pooka, or animal spirit, arrives and cleans the place from top to bottom, Jamie thinks his problems are over. DePaola's cozy, colorful illustrations are a good match for the lighthearted, rhythmic text.
