The Luckiest Leprechaun, written by Justine Korman Fontes and illustrated by Denise Brunkus, is an adorable little story about trust and friendship.
This tale features MacKenzie O’Shamrock, or Mac for short. Mac is a leprechaun who is only concerned with two things; protecting his gold and making shoes for faeries. Business is good, as the faeries do nothing by dance, and either wear out or lose their shoes.
Mac has a comfortable home under a tree in a park. But one day, a dog named Lucky accidentally digs right into Mac’s home when trying to bury a bone! Lucky feels awful. To try to make it up to Mac, she promises to be his guard dog. Mac protests, but Lucky starts to grow on him. One day, Lucky makes good on her promise and chases off a human man that was about to catch Mac!
But when Mac wakes up and see’s that both his gold and Lucky are missing… he blames Lucky. However, Mac is also a bit worried about the dog. What if something happened to her?
This would be a great book to read with kids, especially around the Saint Patrick’s Day holiday!
It was a cute story with a great lesson about friendship. It flowed really well and it had wonderful illustrations. I’d highly recommend this one!
My favorite line from the book was: “Then people found a new way to boil my potatoes…“
