A Pot o' Gold: A Treasury of Irish Stories, Poetry, Folklore, and (of Course) Blarney

(3) K-3 Illustrated by David McPhail. Krull's broad selection, from ancient myth to classic poem to silly limerick, pays tribute to Ireland's rich literary history, while McPhail's lovely, jewel-toned watercolors of both landscape and hearthside evoke the beauty of the Emerald Isle. Brief informative notes give historical perspective to many of the entries. The handsome compilation lends itself best to browsing, dipping in here and there for a bit of Irish gold.
