HOW TO CATCH A LEPRECHAUN 

Have you read How to Catch a Leprechaun by Adam Wallace? 

I ordered my copy from Scholastic, and was instantly in love!

It's about some children who try to catch the elusive leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day. They set up lots of great traps and try to fool him with some sneaky tricks! 

I created this book study packed with companion activities to to along with the book. It includes an activity where students can design their own leprechaun trap...AWESOME!
