The Leprechaun's Gold

Description

Based on a classic Irish folktale, this is the perfect picture book to share on St. Patrick's Day. In this classic Irish legend, two harpists-merry-hearted Old Pat and ill-spirited Young Tom-set off for a contest to name the finest harpist in all of Ireland. When Young Tom realizes that Old Pat is truly the better musician, he schemes to be the winner-but he doesn't reckon with the clever trickery of a mischievous little leprechaun. Celebrated picture book creators Pamela Duncan Edwards and Henry Cole have imagined a joyful and fanciful tale with a priceless lesson.

Pamela Duncan Edwards is the author of numerous popular picture books, including Livingstone Mouse; Roar! A Noisy Counting Book; Some Smug Slug; The Worrywarts; Clara Caterpillar; Wake-Up Kisses; Rosie's Roses; The Leprechaun's Gold; and Gigi and Lulu's Gigantic Fight, all illustrated by Henry Cole; as well as Dear Tooth Fairy, illustrated by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick; McGillycuddy Could!, illustrated by Sue Porter; and The Neat Line, illustrated by Diana Cain Bluthenthal. She lives in Virginia. Henry Cole was a celebrated science teacher for many years before turning his talents to children's books.
