Description

Legend has it that if you catch a leprechaun, hell grant you a wish. But, be careful! Leprechauns are full of trickery. To catch one, youll need to be clever in crafting your trap. Grab some glitter and glue and get prepared for your wily holiday visitors!
On the night before St. Patricks Day, leprechauns show up to steal your treasures and then disappear as quickly as they came. However, if youre careful you might be able to catch one and then hell grant you a wish. Youll have to be sneaky and set just the right trap to trap a leprechaun.
Sue Fliesss read-aloud text and Emma Randalls whimsical illustrations will provide much fun for young readers eager to catch their very own leprechaun! But beware: leprechauns may leave you with nothing but a cardboard box and a shoe or two.

Reviews

SLJ Review: Vibrant illustrations match the catchy verse, which begs to be part of a St. Patricks Day read-aloud. Also notable is that the four children in the story have skin color shades spanning from light to dark. The book concludes with instructions for parents and educators on building a leprechaun trap at home or at school, and a quick primer of leprechaun folklore. VERDICT A fun offering for March that will work well read aloud or independently.Lindsay Jensen, Nashville Public Library
