This St. Patty's Day was too much fun, plus, it was on a Friday! We has little green monsters all over the building last week, myself included. To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I read two of the new books we purchased with our $5,000 grant. Of course they are similar, but I would have never guessed that they would have been as perfectly matched as they were!
How to Catch a Leprechaun by Adam Wallace had some pretty fun illustrations of how you might set up a trap to catch a leprechaun. The absence of the leprechaun's face made the reader more intrigued, and just like the classic movie that keeps the suspect's face hidden, this book has similar mystery!
The Night Before St. Patrick's Day shows how a brother and sister are sure to catch a leprechaun with all the nifty traps they set. Side note: I did not know the leprechauns are supposedly mischievous? Both stories this week, spoiler alert, showed the leprechauns causing some major chaos. I suppose need to read up on my Irish folklore!
Each book is a fun and easy read and perfect for youngsters wanting to set some leprechaun traps next year!
