Would you be lucky enough (or smart enough) to fool a leprechaun?
Charlesbridge sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you) and it's a lovely book. Kelly Murphy has created enchanting illustrations that will catch your eye and add to your reading pleasure.
This is an Irish folktale that talks about how much luck there was in Ireland until the big people arrived (humans). When they started using up the luck faster than the King of Leprechauns liked, he collected it all and hid it. Soon the hens didn't lay, the cows went dry, and the potatoes rotted in the field and things didn't look good for the Irish. But Fiona was not going to give up so easily...
This book is written for 6-9 year olds and is a treat to read even if you're an adult. If you would enjoy watching someone outwit the King of Leprechauns, this book is for you.
I highly recommend this children's picture book. The story and illustrations make it outstanding.
