This folklore book tells about leprechauns, fairies and old Irish stories. It is very interesting and the research the authors did to write it is impressive. It is an interesting book to use in the classroom close to Saint Patrick's Day. My 4th grade students would love it specially because of the details about the fairies (girls) and leprechauns (boys). I will be using it for sure.
