La storiella e’ allegra, piace molto alla mia bimba ma ora, durante il nostro week end a Dublino, e’ determinata a catturarne uno… 🙂

Bonito libro
Me ha gustado bastante el libro, es verdad que tiene un lenguaje un tanto complicado para alumnado no nativo pero adaptándolo la historia les termina gustando mucho.

An amusing read full of mischief and mayhem.
Having read a number of these ‘How to Catch’ books, I wasn’t sure I was going to like this one any more than I liked the others. The idea is certainly a fun one but the rhymes don’t always work well for me. But I quite enjoyed this tale of a mischievous leprechaun pulling pranks on everyone he meets. Turning toilets green, throwing sneakers in the dishwater, the leprechaun sneers at all the attempts to catch him, wreaking havoc along the way. Ultimately, the leprechaun challenges the reader to be the one to catch him before putting his feet up and relaxing. As an adult, I had to flinch a little at the mess the leprechaun left behind at every place he went, but everyone he ran into was trying to catch him and get his gold, so I can’t really fault him for retaliating. Young readers are bound to get a kick out of the fun rhymes and the impressively detailed illustrations as the leprechaun leaps from page to page. All in all, a fun read for St. Patrick’s Day.

Book caught my eye
This book is a “must” read every night for our 3 year old granddaughter. She thinks is one of the funniest, and enjoys counting the coins and shamrocks on each page.

Fun story
My grandsons lived this book, especially since they built a leprechaun trap to try to catch a leprechaun at their school!
