Too Many Leprechauns by Stephen Krensky

Too Many Leprechauns: Or How That Pot o' Gold Got to the End of the Rainbow by Stephen Krensky-32 pages

I chose this book based on the cover. I enjoy stories of leprechauns, Ireland, and St. Patrick's Day. This is the story of how Finn O'Finnegan tricks the leprechauns into leaving his town that he has just returned to from Dublin. Leprechauns have overtaken the town making shoes and so much noise that the townspeople can't get any sleep. So, Finn outwits the leprechauns by hiding their fairy gold at the end of a rainbow and bargaining with them to leave in order to get it back. I enjoyed reading this short picture book.
