Lackluster,
This review is from: S is for Shamrock: An Ireland Alphabet (Discover the World) (Hardcover)
Really poor book. There have to be a number of better books about Ireland than this one. The irish alphabet has little or no imagination, with some specific examples from the book that seem especially odd.
J for Journey N for Nature A for Ancient Ireland vs. M for Modern Ireland T for Titanic Having visited Ireland and of Irish heritage, some of the letter associations are pretty disappointing. The illustrations are interesting, but the associated story is lackluster at best. The alphabet should have been executed much, much better.

S is for Shamrock is a great book about Ireland.
We traveled to almost all the sites included. It is a great souvenir from our trip. It would be a good book for anyone Irish or for someone who wants to learn more about Ireland.
