Jack and the Leprechaun
When Jack the mouse travels to Ireland to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with his Irish cousins, he is indoctrinated into all things Irish. He learns about the shamrock and Irish foods, and of course, the legend of the leprechaun and his pot of gold. Jack comes across Liam the Leprechaun and chases him for his gold, but receives a pot of cheese instead. Since he is a mouse, this suits Jack fine. The writer has tried to pull in cultural information about Ireland, even using two terms, which are italicized, from the Irish language. Unfortunately, there are also inaccuracies in the kids book. For example, the Irish flag is not orange and white, and Danny Boy is not the official song of St. Patrick's Day. This children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other children's books you would like to have reviewed. Share this post with your family and friends. Remember to always praise your child.
