“The Irish dialect and vivid watercolor illustrations integrated throughout the story add richness to this charming tale.” 

—Children’s Literature

 “Lucky O’Leprechaun is a beautifully illustrated, bright and lively tale.” 

—The Midwest Book Review

 “An entertaining addition for the holiday shelves.” 

—School Library Journal

 Legend has it that most leprechauns are content spending their days counting their gold and playing tricks on unsuspecting mortals in Ireland, the land of their births. A few have managed, intentionally or not, to find their way to America. This delightful follow-up story to Lucky O’Leprechaun reunites young readers with the O’Sullivan family and the leprechaun who has pestered them since the time of the Vikings. 

 As the O’Sullivan girls make plans to join their parents in the New World, their uncle offers them his most precious (and secret) possession—an ancient box full of valuable Irish treasure! The sisters insist that dear Uncle Paddy keep the treasure for himself, but he—and a certain sneaky leprechaun—have other ideas.

Lucky O'Leprechaun

Lucky O'Leprechaun Comes to America

“In this St. Patrick’s Day picture book, two Irish-American kids, Sean and Meghan, discover how to outwit a leprechaun. . .the language of the tale captures the Irish lilt and mannerisms. The book’s illustrations are of intense, contrasting colors and express the emotions and quirks of all the characters, including the ornery leprechaun.” 

—Children’s Literature

 “Author-illustrator Jana Dillon shows a facility with caricature and mood, a way with color that extends from subtle shading to electric color combinations, and an ability to create a style that looks new yet recalls an earlier era of picture book illustration. . .[Dillon] demonstrates an understanding of the dynamics of picture books as well as a knowledge of what children like.” 

—Booklist

 “Painterly use of tertiary color schemes. . .Dillon’s illustrations are singular and noteworthy.” 

—Publishers Weekly

 “Vibrant illustrations. . .a pleasing read-aloud or a satisfying read-alone for young readers ready for a challenge.” 

—School Library Journal

 This delightfully entertaining story introduces the reader to Meghan and Sean O’Sullivan, their three grandaunties, and Lucky O’Leprechaun, who has pestered the O’Sullivans since the time of the Vikings. Throughout the story, Meghan and Sean debate over what they will ask of Lucky O’Leprechaun if they catch him. Will they ask him for his pot of gold, or will they discover that some things are even more precious? 

 The brilliant illustrations and whimsical text will not only captivate children but also teach them a wee bit about leprechaun as the lad and lass repeatedly attempt to capture the tricky little fellow on St. Patrick’s eve.
