First, I want to thank Sandy Barton for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Sandy Barton wrote an extremely cute book called Discovery in the Woods. This book is the first book in a series of four books. This book is unique and creative in the fact that a little boy discovers a little Leprechaun in the woods. During the book they form an extremely strong friendship.
I love how the book was dedicated to her 5th grade students whom heard the story and choose to believe.
I have reviewed children’s books In the past. However, she did something no other author I have come across has done. She gave tips on what to do before reading the book. For example: find a comfy place to read and get all comfy (that is very important), Look at the cover and gather all the information of the book that you can before starting. She also gives you tips while you read it like switch up the voices of the characters in your head, turn the words into pictures in your mind, etc. When you finish the book go tell someone about it. However, don’t spoil the ending for them.
I loved how Sophie found a Leprechaun in the woods two weeks till St. Patrick’s Day. Boy was he a feisty little man!! He went by CW McAllister.
One of my fave lines was “Well, I ain’t one of those talking mushrooms, am I.”
I laughed every time Mr. McAllister called Sandy Big One seeing Mr. McAllister was small.
I loved how Mr. McAllister was going to spend St. Patrick’s Day at Sandy’s school. In return Sandy was going to spend the evening having dinner with 152 of their community members. That was good compromise.
Sandy Barton the author is a retired elementary school teacher at Forest Elementary School Teacher in Buffalo, NY. She loved telling her students about the Leprechaun’s in her woods.

I don’t usually add books I read with the kids but this was a really fun read with the kids on St. Patrick’s day. We will probably come back to this one every year or maybe check out some of the others in the series.

This book is fabulous! I read it aloud with my kids and we were all laughing until we had tears rolling down our cheeks.

What a fun and tender book to read around St. Patrick's Day. My daughter's and I really enjoyed reading this book together. I think, Discovery in the Woods, would be a wonderful tradition to read every year with your children or students.
