The Last Snake in Ireland: A Story about St. Patrick

32 pp. | Holiday | March, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1425-6 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Will Hillenbrand. St. Patrick helps create the Loch Ness Monster in this hybrid tale. He charms all of Ireland's snakes into the sea, except for one sneaky red one, which he locks in a box and sinks into Loch Ness, where it grows and grows. Droll mixed-media illustrations of the face-off between wily snake and determined saint carry off this ridiculous tall tale.
