    The Children’s Book Review

    From shamrocks to Leprechauns to fiddle music to the color green, these three books have St. Patrick’s Day (March, 17) covered. Oh, and in case you’re wondering why people wear shamrocks on St. Patrick’s Day, it’s because regular rocks are too heavy. *drum roll—ba-DUM-ching*

    by Anne Rockwell (Author), Lizzy Rockwell (Illustrator)

    Reading level: Ages 4-8

    Hardcover: 40 pages

    Publisher: HarperCollins; 1 edition (January 26, 2010)

    This is a very kid-friendly explanation of what St. Patrick’s Day is all about. The story is told from a child’s perspective and is set within a school classroom (most likely a kindergarten class). The class is led in a discovery type learning experience and encouraged to make group presentations, which gives a very familiar feel to the readers. The illustrations are colorful and energetic—a good representation of this lively Irish holiday. A wonderful introduction to Irish traditions and culture!

    Magic Tree House is a favorite amongst early readers and fluent readers. This installment finds Jack and Annie on an Irish adventure that is fit for a St. Patrick’s Day read. The bother and sister duo have been sent on another mission by Merlin the magician. They have to find a girl named Augusta and inspire her to discover her hidden talents. On their quest to fulfill their mission, they encounter many a creature from Irish folklore. It’s a very entertaining read—Magic Treehouse fans will not be disappointed.

      Thanks for mentioning the Magic Treehouse books. I really like that series. My daughters eat them up. The thing that makes them great is that they are both appealing to children (entertaining, etc.), and developmentally valuable. Kids read them voraciously, learn history, geography, folklore, etc., and have a blast doing it. The research guides are great too. My children use them in their homeschooling curriculum from time to time.
