Leprechaun in Late Winter was an awesome book. I am in 2nd grade and love reading Magic Tree House books. I learned a lot about Ireland and leprechauns. This book would make a great St. Patrick's Day gift!

My son told me that my grandaughter was very much interested in this series of books so I ordered some to keep at my home for her to look at when she visited. With the weather and all I have not been able to see her yet but I'm sure she is going to love them. The books themselves are well constructed which pleases me and seems that they are going to be a pleasant surprise for her.
