The diminuitive mischief-makers begin the day by setting their sights on one family in particular, and a rather large one at that. This family consists of a mother and father and their eleven T'ank Gods (children). What will happen to this clan? What will happen during the St. Patrick's Day parade? Only the leprechaun's know for sure, and they are not talking. Whatever happens, it is bound to be fun!

Publisher Description:

Who could add to the merriment
of St. Patrick's Day more than leprechauns? When they make up their minds, they
are determined to make mischief . . . and that is just what they do in A
Leprechaun's St. Patrick's Day . Dublin's St. Patrick's Day Parade will
never be the same
The leprechauns set their sights on a family's breakfast to start the day.
Then they decide that even with all of the shamrocks, bagpipes, drums, and
banners, the parade needs a little something extra--a dose of leprechaun fun.

A Leprechaun's St. Patrick's Day is also available in an
auheocassette format and is complemented with An Irish Night Before
Christmas . Both tales are narrated by the author.
