When Jamie O'Rourke's wife leaves him alone for a week, it's up to Jamie to do the housework. But Jamie isn't just the laziest man in Ireland, he's also the messiest! When a magical pooka arrives unexpectedly and starts to do the dishes and sweep the house, Jamie thinks that maybe he's the luckiest man in Ireland as well. But will Jamie's good fortune-and his pooka's housekeeping-last? Young readers will be kept giggling throughout Tomie dePaola's delightfully funny tale. “DePaola's jaunty storytelling pace and his snappy Irish phrases give this tale extra sparkle.” - Publishers Weekly
