My K Class Loved This Book

Every year a leprechaun visits my classroom. This year she/he left this book. The kids loved it. They felt sorry for the dog and predicted what might happen between the unlikely pair. We talked about the leprechaun's demeanor and feelings. The thing that i heard about most with this book was that "Lucky," the dog, was a girl! This is a very big deal with 5 & 6 year-olds...especially the girls! This book is perfect for St. Paddy's units or getting in the mood for the holiday and talk of wee folk. The illustrations are charming as well.

Magical!

This is a wonderful tale of the unlikely friendship between a lovable dog and a crusty old leprechaun. My almost nine year old daughter loved the pictures in this book.

A wonderful tale of friendship

My daughter loves this heart-warming tale of a cautious leprechaun and his unlikely friendship with an outgoing dog named Lucky. Perfect bedtime reading any time of year.

An original, engaging story with vivid, colorful artwork!
