Book Reviews of St. Patrick's Day in the Morning (Clarion books)
Book Review: Engaging story to which children should be able to relate
Summary: 5 Stars
The clever illustrations by Jan Brett are rich in detail but minimal in color--highlighting the greens and golds of Ireland and the orange of the flag. The charming story is of a young boy who is considered by the rest of his family to be too young to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade. With his faithful dog at his side he sets out very early in the morning to show them they are wrong, and even faces the doubts of local merchants as he proceeds on his solitary way. Undaunted, he finally reaches his destination, celebrates with the bottle of ginger ale a shop owner had given him, and the little flag of Ireland he carried with it is placed in the empty bottle--as a sort of conquerer's claim to the territory. He returns home and, exhausted, curls up in a chair with his dog. His unsuspecting family wakes to find him all decked out, as if for the parade, and they chuckle over the fact that he is too little for such a venture. But he has the last laugh, for "what do they know?" A fun read!
Summary of St. Patrick's Day in the Morning (Clarion books)
Jamie seeks a way to prove that he is not too young to march in the big St. Patrick's Day parade.
On March 17, young Jamie wakes up and realizes it's St. Patrick's Day. The green sashes are laid out on the table for his father and two older brothers--all ready for them to sport in the big parade. This is all very exciting, but Jamie's family had told him he was too small to walk in the parade--too young to make it all the way up Acorn Hill. He decides to take matters (and his trusty flute) into his own small hands, and embarks on an early morning walk--all the way up Acorn Hill--with his dog Nell. What did they know? Sure enough, while the village is sleeping, he traverses the parade route to the top of the hill where he greets the sun with a hearty, "A happy St. Pat's to you, sun." And, he makes it home before breakfast! While no one finds out what Jamie has done, you suspect that he may tell his family later. Kids will love the fact that Jamie climbs all the way up the hill when everyone said he couldn't. A simple but satisfying St. Patrick's Day read-aloud, and an IRA/CBC Children's Choice. (Ages 4 and older)
