What St. Patrick’s Day books are perfect for toddlers?
Every holiday I try to bring you the best books for your toddler. And I thought Thanksgiving was the most forgotten holiday.
But here I am writing about St. Patrick’s Day, and I’m only able to come up with a very small list of St. Patrick’s Day books for toddlers. Although it seems some of the authors have forgotten this magical holiday, don’t let that stop you from celebrating this day (March 17) with your little one.
Those leprechauns are hard to catch and are quite the pranksters, so this is a fun way to introduce the Irish culture to your toddler. And maybe you’ll even have your own visit from one of those sneaky leprechauns. (Check out the book Silly McGilly below for some ideas.)
