Product Description
ItÂs the night before St. PatrickÂs Day, and Tim and Maureen are wide awake setting traps to catch a leprechaun! When they wake the next morning to the sound of their dad playing the bagpipes and the smell of their mom cooking green eggs, theyÂre shocked to find that theyÂve actually caught a leprechaun. But will they be able to find his pot of gold? Natasha WingÂs latest title is once again told in verse to the same meter of Clement MooreÂs classic.

 Fun, Whimsical Stories that take a Spin on a Classic Favorite April 9, 2009

I love this series by Natasha Wing. It expands on the classic favorite The Night Before Christmas by creating a "night before" story for each holiday. It contains part of the old classics with a new twist. They read with great rhythm, just like the classic, and entertain children while bringing adults back to their childhood.
This story is very imaginative and full of fun St. Patrick's Day themes (shamrocks, a pot of gold, etc.). The illustrations are beautifully done and very whimsical. I have bought all these books for my godson and my mother (who is a lower grade teacher and reads them too her kids in the classroom). They are so cute, I may get them for myself too. This book is fun for all.

I read this book to my child's 1st grade class. They loved it. They were looking for the the little leprechaun on almost all the pages. A few of the kids did not get that the leprechaun played a joke on the children in the story. The kids were convinced that the gold was burined under one of the X's. It was very funny. My child placed gold things around the house the night before St. Patrick's in hopes to catch a Leprechaun.

All of the Natasha Wing books, "The Night Before..." books are WONDERFUL! Children love them and adults can enjoy reading them to their children.
my favorite St. Patrick's Day book! March 28, 2010
Krista A. Fong (San Ramon, CA)
After buying 3 books for St. Patrick's Day at once, this one was my fave.
Pros: cute pictures, lots of visual detail, hidden leprechauns in pictures which are fun for kids to find, familiar rhythm, uncomplicated language, rhyming words, clear story line, characters and settings, great length of text per page and length of story for younger children, leprechaun traps which lend themselves well to extension activities
Cons: Not really a "con", but the "trick" at the end of the story was difficult for my younger students to understand.

This is another in the Night Before ... series. This is a nice addition to the series. It follows like the others and the illustrations are great.
