Customer Reviews

Good Introduction for the very young.

My four year old has really enjoyed this book. It gives a smattering of information about the geography and culture of Ireland that is just right for an introduction to the Emerald Isle. The photos are big and eye catching and I love the rather primative illustrated map of Ireland. My daughter now knows where Dublin and Belfast are located as well as the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. She has memorized the green, white, and orange colors of the country's flag. She has become a bit familiar with the food, musical instruments, dances, sports, fashion, and animals of Ireland along with the words "celtic" and "Gaelic". She has been especially interested in the holiday's originating there--Halloween and St. Patrick's Day. There is also an Irish soda bread recipe included that we have yet to try. This book has helped to peak her interest in her ancestery and will hopefully motive her to read more substantial books on Ireland as she grows older.
