![]() As in The Story of the Easter Bunny (HarperCollins, 2005), text and artwork are a perfect match, and Lambert captures the cozy charm of the leprechaun and his surroundings. After the tricked man leaves, the leprechaun moves his treasure to a magic place-the end of a rainbow. ![]() ![]() After digging many, many holes, he gives up and tries to collect the shoes, but they disappear at his touch. Tim returns with a shovel, but he finds that the field where the treasure is buried is now covered with 200 shoes on top of as many sticks stuck in the ground. His final wish is to have three more wishes, but the leprechaun says it is "a greedy trick" that "cannot be granted." When he shows Tim the spot where the gold is buried, the young man marks it with a shoe on top of a long, upright stick. Aware that catching a leprechaun means being granted three wishes, Tim grabs him and demands first to know the location of the gold and then to be given 100 pairs of shoes. When his profits cause his pot of gold to overflow, he buries it for safekeeping, but not before a greedy human spies it. ![]() K-Gr 2-A leprechaun is a busy shoemaker for humans and fairies alike. ![]()
