What a wonderful book for adults and children alike. I found this book to be a terrific help in understanding some of the legends and history of Ireland and St. Patrick's Day. It was also invaluable in explaining these to my younger children, both at home and in Sunday School classes.Both the writing and the illustrations work to offer a better understanding of Irish traditions. All in all, not only an educational read, but a pleasant one, too!
This book is really interesting and helps you learn about the history of Ireland and their traditions. I recommend for any Irish enthusiast!
This book is a little like a mini-St. Patricks/Ireland encyclopedia for upper elem and middle grades. The pics and facts are outstanding.
Reasonalbly pleased with the book. The supplier of the book should be rated 5 star for quick delivery and quality of the book.
