The Leprechaun Under the Bed

Teresa Bateman

Holiday House, Incorporated, 2012 - Juvenile Fiction - 32 pages

There is no peace at all for a poor leprechaun. Brian O'Shea summons banshees and ghosts to try and stop Sean McDonald from building a cottage right on top of his own home, but it's no use. Brian still ends up with a front door right under Sean's bed. The leprechaun has to make the best of the situation. Yet as time goes on, the two develop an unusual alliance--one that comes in handy when danger arises.

Review: The Leprechaun Under the Bed

User Review  - Jennifer - Goodreads

A wee bit o' kindness results in a lifelong friendship between Sean and Brian (the leprechaun living under the bed). So far, this is my favorite St. Patrick's Day story, as the language and illustrations match each other and are appropriate for the intended audience.
