The Leprechaun's Gold by Pamela Duncan Edwards

Looking at Ireland by Gareth Stevens Publishing

The Luckiest Leprechaun A Tail - Wagging Friendship by Justine Korman

St. Patrick's Day in the Morning by Eve Bunting

Some easy St. Patrick's Day activities are:

• Get the kids coloring shamrocks and hanging them around the house.
• Make cupcakes and sprinkle with green sugar. You can use food coloring to dye the sugar, I just put some sugar in a ziplock bag and add a drop or two of food coloring and then mash it around with my fingers to get the color I want. Then pour it out into a plate and let it dry.
• Draw a shamrock and then outline in glue and add green glitter.
• Make Leprechaun shakes by putting a scoop of lime shebert in a glass and adding sprite to it. Easy and tasty.
