Jim Trotter _imtrotter — I would rather have given this 2 1/2 stars. But I did like the story, so I went with 3. Unfortunately for this book it hit on a couple of my pet peeves... First of all, the book felt overly long. There was too much description of things that didn't matter and it impeded the progression of the story. I know that the authors job is to paint a picture, but for me, it was just too much. Second was the number of characters. Some of the characters were from the first book, so I was able to keep track of them easily. But there were probably 20-30 characters in this book. Most of them new. Usually that wouldn't be a problem, but the author went back and forth between calling them by their first OR last name! It was like having 60 characters to keep track of. It was a bit overwhelming for me. But, like I said, I did like the story.

Frankie Leeming frankieleeming — This book is a rather cute retelling of a traditional Irish tale. I do think, though, that when an author does such a retelling, that it be mentioned somewhere on or in the book. Just like a musician should give credit to a traditional tune they're using to create a new song, the traditional stories should be honored. Here, the publishing information and jacket copy gives the impression that it's entirely a new story, when it is not. That said, the artwork is really nice, and the story version itself is cute, very suitable for grades K-2. Kids will probably be puzzled about one part, though, as the Leprechaun cheats on a wish about shoes, and that part reads less convincingly than the rest of the story. Instead of a trick, it came across as a lie, which isn't the same thing. This was a modification of the original story which didn't work as well as the traditional version. Clever Tom and the Leprechaun by Linda Shute is another version of this tale, in a similar format, if you wish to compare.
