Review Quotes:
"Cole's imaginative illustrations are a good match for the story. An appealing tale that need not be limited to St. Patrick's Day story time." - ALA Booklist
"A fresh leprechaun tale. The narrative flows off the tongue, and Cole's feisty caricatures are easily seen from a distance." - School Library Journal
