Editorial Reviews

Inspired by Irish legends, this A-B-C picture book features wonderful pencil and watercolor illustrations, which perfectly match the dual-audience text. Each page offers a simple verse to share when reading aloud to younger children and a more in-depth description to share with older readers. The text offers an appealing mixture of Irish history, legends and natural wonders, with topics ranging from fairy rings to Irish wolfhounds to the Book of Kells. Modern Ireland is also visited, including a brief mention of the conflict in Ulster and of the latest industry of computing. Through the depth and variety of their subjects, Bunting and Faulkner irresistibly capture a hint of the Irish spirit. Bunting describes the sending of shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day as "just a little bit of sentiment, a little bit of tradition, and a little bit of home," which is exactly the way this charming picture book feels as well, like a perfect blend of sentiment, tradition and home.
