Customer Reviews

Not what we were looking for..

My sons love leprechauns, however we didn’t care for this book. It was to quote heavy and didn’t flow very smooth. The author is a wonderful artist though. The faces are drawn with great detail.

Terrific "read-aloud" with great characters

We really enjoyed this book and recommend it to all people, especially the Irish and people who love the mythology of the "Wee Folk"! The faces are wondefully drawn and kids will love the ingenuity of the children in the book. A magical delight people the world over should love!
