The Leprechaun Under the Bed - Paperback
by Teresa Bateman (Author), Paul Meisel (Illustrator)
"A leprechaun can be alone without being lonely," says Brian O'Shea.
And that's how Brian likes it-- so when a big human man tries to build a cottage on top of Brian's underground home, the leprechaun does his best to scare the fellow away with his magical tricks. But Sean McDonald refuses to be frightened off-- and over time the two develop an unlikely friendship. After all, a leprechaun in the house is a fine piece of luck-- and that luck comes in handy when news of Sean's good fortune attracts dangerous attention. Cleverly told and brightly illustrated, this folktale friendship is a delightful tale for St. Patrick's day-- or any day when you could use a little magic.Teresa Bateman is a school librarian, a storyteller and the author of many lively stories and poems for children.
