From Booklist
MacKenzie O'Shamrock is a feisty leprechaun who makes shoes for fairies and keeps a close eye on his gold. A dog named Lucky comes to stay, and MacKenzie scowls, but the pup grows on him. When it seems Lucky has stolen the gold, Mac finds he is just as disturbed by Lucky's defection as he is by the disappearance of the treasure. The story rambles, and there's never much tension--children will guess that Lucky is safeguarding the gold, not stealing it. But the artwork, if not inspired, is sprightly, and if the tale is not compelling, it's pleasant enough. For libraries needing some fresh material for St. Patrick's Day. Ilene Cooper

My K Class Loved This Book,
By melin (Arcadia, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Luckiest Leprechaun: A Tail-Wagging Tale of Friendship (Paperback)
Every year a leprechaun visits my classroom. This year she/he left this book. The kids loved it. They felt sorry for the dog and predicted what might happen between the unlikely pair. We talked about the leprechaun's demeanor and feelings. The thing that i heard about most with this book was that "Lucky," the dog, was a girl! This is a very big deal with 5 & 6 year-olds...especially the girls! This book is perfect for St. Paddy's units or getting in the mood for the holiday and talk of wee folk. The illustrations are charming as well.

This review is from: The Luckiest Leprechaun: A Tail-Wagging Tale of Friendship (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful tale of the unlikely friendship between a lovable dog and a crusty old leprechaun. My almost nine year old daughter loved the pictures in this book.
