That’s What Leprechauns Do

That’s What Leprechauns Do

What do leprechauns do? They bury a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, of course. But as Mrs. Bally Bunion’s ox, Miss Maude Murphy’s hen, and Old Jamie soon find out, they can’t resist having a little fun along the way. For, besides burying pots of gold, mischief is what leprechauns do!

From this amazing picture book duo comes a lively fun tale that’s perfect for mischief makers of all ages!

A Few Reviews:

Bunting offers a kicky outing here, bringing a dash of modern silliness to her twist on familiar lore. —Publishers Weekly

Caldecott-winner McCully’s sprightly watercolors bring [the] story to life. —Kirkus Reviews

“My husband is from Ireland. My sons kindergarten teacher asked my husband to come to school and be the Secret Reader. He brought this book to read to the class. The children had all built their Leprechaun traps and he read this book to the children the day the project was due- They LOVED it!! It is a cute little story – I gave it 4 stars because as an adult the story seemed a little unfinished to me – but kids don’t care! If you buy this – I’m sure your kids will love it! It shows just how sneaky those little leprechauns can be! ;)” —Amazon Reviewer Kristin
