(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kathleen Kemly. While Shannon is practicing step dancing, the heel of her shoe breaks off. Knowing her parents can't afford new shoes, she tries counting backward in Gaelic, and a (tall) leprechaun appears, ready to grant wishes. But he doesn't just give them out; he makes Shannon work for them, as shown in the lively illustrations. Though the story is scattered, readers will root for Shannon.
