Lucky O'Leprechaun (Lucky O'Leprechaun Series)
Kindergarten-Grade 2-During a visit to their great-aunts' house on St. Patrick's Day weekend, Meg and Sean are determined to catch the leprechaun who lives under a thornbush in the garden. The children devise a plan with the help of the three elderly ladies. When they finally nab the little fellow, they make him promise to return once a year to answer their questions. Dillon adds Irish flavor to the text by incorporating phrases such as, "Top of the morning to you all!" The watercolor illustrations are full of detail and set an appropriate tone throughout the story. The clever "little manny" is hiding in some of the pictures-peeping through windows, crouching in bushes-making the hunt and capture even more fun. An entertaining addition for the holiday shelves.Olga R. Barnes, Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County, NCCopyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
