The Night Before St. Patrick's Day Description
It?s the night before St. Patrick?s Day, and Tim and Maureen are wide awake setting traps to catch a leprechaun! When they wake the next morning to the sound of their dad playing the bagpipes and the smell of their mom cooking green eggs, they?re shocked to find that they?ve actually caught a leprechaun. But will they be able to find his pot of gold? Natasha Wing?s latest title is once again told in verse to the same meter of Clement Moore?s classic.

I love this series by Natasha Wing. It expands on the classic favorite The Night Before Christmas by creating a "night before" story for each holiday. It contains part of the old classics with a new twist. They read with great rhythm, just like the classic, and entertain children while bringing adults back to their childhood.
This story is very imaginative and full of fun St. Patrick's Day themes (shamrocks, a pot of gold, etc.). The illustrations are beautifully done and very whimsical. I have bought all these books for my godson and my mother (who is a lower grade teacher and reads them too her kids in the classroom). They are so cute, I may get them for myself too. This book is fun for all.

After buying 3 books for St. Patrick's Day at once, this one was my fave.
Pros: cute pictures, lots of visual detail, hidden leprechauns in pictures which are fun for kids to find, familiar rhythm, uncomplicated language, rhyming words, clear story line, characters and settings, great length of text per page and length of story for younger children, leprechaun traps which lend themselves well to extension activities
Cons: Not really a "con", but the "trick" at the end of the story was difficult for my younger students to understand.
