WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Sue Fliess has contributed articles to O, the Oprah Magazine, Huffington Post, Education.com, TravelMuse.com, Bay Area Parent, Writer's Digest, and more and is the author of more than a dozen picture books. When she's not writing, she is busy with her two young boys and loves to travel. She lives with her husband, kids, and a smart English Labrador pup named Charlie in Ashburn, Virginia. Emma Randall is a freelance illustrator specializing in children's book illustration-both fiction and nonfiction. Each piece of work is conjured up over multiple cups of green tea, then carefully planned and realized from her barn studio in the village of Tickenham, England.
SLJ Review: Vibrant illustrations match the catchy verse, which begs to be part of a St. Patrick's Day read-aloud. Also notable is that the four children in the story have skin color shades spanning from light to dark. The book concludes with instructions for parents and educators on building a leprechaun trap at home or at school, and a quick primer of leprechaun folklore. VERDICT A fun offering for March that will work well read aloud or independently.-Lindsay Jensen, Nashville Public Library
