This board book makes for a good introduction to St Patrick's Day for younger kids because of it's simple concepts, colorful pictures and sturdy construction. (It can also be used year 'round for it's counting.) "St. Patrick's Day Countdown" is a book that counts backwards from 5 down to 1 using St Patrick's Day theme items and then some; bunnies, shamrocks, a pot of gold... you get the idea. It's also fun because the book is not exactly book shaped but has grabbable shamrock "tabs" so little ones can help turn the pages. I bought this for my one year old niece and her mom said it was "perfect". I like that it does not have hit-you-over-the-head St. Patrick Day overtones (ie. nothing religious) to it but still captures the spirit of the day.

This book is perfect for babies & small children. My son is 9 months old & this is one of his favorite books. It has short phrases on each page while teaching numbers & doesn't have a lot of pages. The colors are bright & pictures are cute. The edges of the pages have a shamrock & my son finds it easy to turn the pages. He's also attracted to the cover because the shamrocks are shiny.

I purchased this book for our daughter's first St. Patrick's Day and she loves it! It is perfect for little hands; each leaf on the shamrock is an extended cut-out that helps her turn the pages easily. The shamrock is also sparkly and this lends to holding the attention of little ones. The text rhymes and the pictures are brightly colored. This is a perfect introduction for children ages 0-3.

I bought this for my 9 month old granddaughter. The books is sturdy and she liked the shinny paper on the cover.

I'm always looking for St. Patrick's Day books for my toddler and three year old. My three year old has outgrown it, but still likes to look over my shoulder when I read it to my 18 month old. Great pictures.
