This review is from: Scholastic Reader Level 1: It's St. Patrick's Day (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book to read for your St. Patrick's Day Celebration. Appealing illustrations and just the right amount of text for those 3-4 years olds with a shorter attention span. Great introduction to the holiday. Can be tied to your classroom activities (turn your juice green, ask an Irish Step dancer to visit, etc.) Highly recommended!

This review is from: Scholastic Reader Level 1: It's St. Patrick's Day (Paperback)

Encompassing many of the traditional elements of what we think of for a St. Patrick's Day celebration, this is a simple little rhyming book. As a Scholastic Reader Level 1 book it is good for an early reader--though not all the words are easy level--there are only a couple of short lines per page. The illustrations are appealing and fun. Could be a springboard for a discussion of many of the holiday's traditions, as it introduces them without elaborating. Nothing deep here, but it is a lighthearted little tribute to "the wearin' of the green."

5.0 out of 5 stars How you celebrate St. Patricks day - everyone is Irish on this day, July 21, 2008

This review is from: Scholastic Reader Level 1: It's St. Patrick's Day (Paperback)

This is a cute book for pre-k or kindergarten, maybe even 1st grade. It gives children a basic idea of how children celebrate St.Patrick's day by wearing green, maybe even have something green to drink with your Irish stew. You might see dancers doing an Irish Reel dance, sing as song or will you be lucky enough to find a 4 leaf clover, hear bagpipes & drums, or see a leprechauns? " No matter where you were born, today you can be Irish."

This book is illustrated quite nicely and on the everyone can be Irish page there are children that are from Asian countries, Africa and maybe even Lapland I'm guessing from the costume. This book does not talk about St. Patrick.
