A Fine St. Patrick's Day
by Susan Wojciechowski (Author) Tom Curry (Illustrator)
Welcome to the rival towns of Tralee and Tralah, where the annual St. Patrick's Day decorating contest is under way. Every year, Tralah defeats Tralee. This year, though, little Fiona Riley has a wonderful idea that will help Tralee win the contest for sure. But neither town has counted on a stranger arriving--a funny little man with pointed ears and boots trimmed with bells--who will turn the contest upside down!

Review quotes
"Wojciechowski tells a fine story that reads well aloud; Curry's drolly mock-primitive paintings practically glow with color and bristle with texture. Practice your brogue, and sure and begorra, start working some story-hour magic."—The Horn Book
