St. Patrick and the Three Brave Mice

by Joyce A. Stengel, Herb Leonhard (Illustrator)

In this entertaining children's tale, St. Patrick has driven the snakes out of Ireland, but one crafty, clever snake escaped. Ryan, Brian, and Tulla do not want to become tasty mouse meals for this reptile! So they gather their courage and devise a crafty, clever--and risky--plan of their own to help St. Patrick find the sneaky snake.

Grandpa's book. I read it to Grandpa and Jaeger. I didn't think that three mice could get a bell back from a snake!

Getting my four year old son to sit down long enough to read a book is an accomplishment: it takes an interesting, fast paced story, bright, beautiful pictures and usually some sort of drama or comedy to keep him tuned in. Since I am such a reader, I try to find books to capture his imagination so he can hopefully grow up to love books as well. We just read this wonderful story....and he sat through the entire thing! Not only did he sit through it, but he asked questions and commented on the illustrations as the story progressed. This is a beautiful book and fun for child and parent alike to read. I highly recommend it!
