My students enjoyed the book This book contains a lot of information about the life of St. Patrick and St. Patrick’s Day. I purchased it for use in my 2nd grade classroom in a public school. It wasn’t as appropriate for this situation as I had hoped. Several pages of the book go into the religious aspect of St. Patrick’s life. I found I had to skip over some sentences in order to be politely correct in my classroom. My students enjoyed the book, and we were able to create an anchor chart with the main details of the text…
Good for younger kids 3-7 This is a cute book but I was under the impression there would be more to read. It has about 1-3 sentences per page which is WAY below my child’s reading level. It is informative but not to the extent where history is given in nice detail. It’s more like ‘bullet points’. I again will stress it’s cute but just not was was advertised and not what I read in other reviews.
Lots of info This is not a story – its a lot of info on St. Patrick’s Day. This was the only book I found that talked about who St. Patrick was and his life. That is the main reason we got this book.
