Made up almost entirely of "S" words, this alliterative tale of a determined slug ends in tragedy (or lunch, depending on your perspective).

In this classic Irish legend, two harpists--merry-hearted Old Pat and ill-spirited Young Tom--set off for a contest to name the finest harpist in all of Ireland. When Young Tom realizes that Old Pat is truly the better musician, he schemes to be the winner--but he doesn't reckon with the clever trickery of a mischievous little leprechaun.

This is a heartfelt story about the first day of school for dinosaur. It's a what-if book and goes through the scary/not so scary parts about starting school. Dinosaur isn't so sure about the whole thing but by the end of the day he's happy to come back tomorrow. This is one of those books I would definitely recommend to a child scared of what their first day of school will be like. It can help put them at ease. The illustrations are bright and fun. There is so much going on in each picture that you never know what you'll find next.… (more)
