Happy St. Patrick's Day! (Plus Four Books)


Whether you're at work or already celebrating, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Here are a few books to help you enjoy the holiday a little more:



Book: St. Patrick's Day by Gail Gibbons

Description:

In addition to the story of St. Patrick's life, here is information about how St. Patrick's Day is celebrated. There are decorations from shamrocks to shillelaghs. People give cards, share meals, and wear green to honor Ireland, the Emerald Isle. And there are parades! Included are six legends about Patrick. Full color.





Book: Hooray for St. Patrick's Day by Joan Holub with illustrations by Paul Meisel

Description:

It's Saint Patrick's Day, and time to join in the celebration. Children can lift the flaps for interactive fun as they see the children in this book make holiday crafts, taste traditional Irish food, perform a play about Saint Patrick, and even march in a Saint Patrick's Day parade. As an added bonus, they can search for the hidden leprechaun on each spread. A great way for young readers to learn about and enjoy the holiday.






Book: The Night Before St. Patrick's Day by Natasha Wing with illustrations by Amy Wummer

Description:

Natasha Wing puts an Irish twist on a Christmas classic. It's the night before St. Patrick's Day, and Tim and Maureen are wide awake setting traps to catch a leprechaun! When they wake the next morning to the sound of their dad playing the bagpipes and the smell of their mom cooking green eggs, they're shocked to find that they've actually caught a leprechaun. But will they be able to find his pot of gold?






Book: A Berry Lucky St. Patrick's Day by Mickie Matheis with illustrations by Laura Thomas
