My favorite part of this book is reading "... while others were short on luck, Fiona had pails of it." Then she had baskets of it and wheelbarrows full of it. Great job tricking the leprechauns, Fiona!

This has a folktale feel as it describes how the luck of the Irish came to be. It's all thanks to Fiona, who outwitted the leprechaun king. I liked the illustrations better than the story, but it's a solid tale. (Note to self: it's on Tumblebooks too?)

7/10 Teaches kids to be resourceful and clever and that they don't need luck if they have smarts

Read this to my 1 year old son at bedtime last night via the Skybrary app on our iPad. He loved the story and all the little extras!

Clever tale of a clever young lady. Illustrations hit the right note of low-key humor.
Good for display on St. Patrick's day as well as a fine picture book with a strong girl as the main character.

- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Great book. Fiona is so confident she thinks she can outwit the Leprechaun that took all the luck from Ireland. Now cows can't milk and chickens don't lay eggs and there are no potatoes. Not just anyone wants to square off against King of the Leprechauns. This is one of the spiritual laws of the universe. Declare something and it will happen. She started getting milk and eggs and potatoes even though they weren't real. The Leprechauns were angry so she now had an audience with them. She got to match wits with the King. Lets simply say that some luck returned to the land.
Such a great story about girl power and having faith in yourself. She was capable and she would rather depend on her wits than luck. I don't know if my niece understand how powerful this message is, and I was pleased to read this with her. Both kids enjoyed the little people. In our house, they visit on St Patty's day and leave little green footprints on the toilet seat. haha. This is my sister-in-laws tradition and I love it. So they were excited to see the little people in a story. They were talking excitedly about them coming to the house.
I enjoyed this story. It slightly reminded me of Rip Van Winkle. Luck of the Irish to ya.

Fiona out-smarts the Leprachaun king, and delivers luck back to the people of Ireland :-)
