Too Many Leprechauns is a very cute story about Irish tricks and the origins of why gold can always be found at the end of a rainbow. Finn O'Finnegan returns home to Dingle after a year in Dublin to find his home has been overtaken by noisy leprechauns. Finn meets a leprechaun named Dobb, who is making leprechaun shoes to acquire more gold, as that is the only thing that matters to leprechauns. Finn devices a plan…. He finds faults with all of the shoes that the leprechauns make. To show Fi...more
A cute Irish trickster story I felt compelled to read it to my daughter with an Irish accent which would have been aided if the writing had been in Irish dialect. The images were gorgeous, oil on paper, some going across both pages, others bordered by a thick black decorative border, although the leprechauns all kind of looked the same.
Cute story/legend of how the leprechauns' gold came to be at the end of the rainbow. Fun pictures and story. My son and I both enjoyed it. He asked lots of questions about leprechauns and enjoyed that I automatically read all the voices with an Irish brogue (although probably not a very good one - LOL).
A fun story for St. Patrick's Day. Colorful and expressive illustrations and leprechauns who aren't too scary for little ones.
Great link to both St. Patrick's Day, folk tales, and making story predictions.
It was ok. I loved the illustrations. I thought the plot needed some help.
Great pictures and a cute story!
The artwork was very nice, and the story was good (except the part about the rainbow, which I didn't think was explained very well). It was great how the leprechauns were outsmarted and offended by the MC's reaction to their shoes. Again, I don't fully understand the gold/rainbow thing, which means kids probably wouldn't either - but then again, they are probably more likely to take it at face value and just be ok with it. So... pretty good book... pretty and entertaining.
