For one, I liked the illustrations because they supported the text. For example, there were illustrations of maps and different cities that were described in the text. This helps readers to connect where the cities are in comparison to where they live. Also, I liked the language because it was descriptive. The story described the history of St. Patrick’s Day, which would allow a reader who did not have much knowledge about St. Patrick’s Day to gain a better insight; I even learned some history about the holiday that I did not know about before. While I liked the concept of the story and its historical information about St. Patrick’s Day, I think it should be used in a fourth or fifth grade class rather than a second grade class. For example, the text talks about death and that “they say that people fed Patrick poison but he did not die.” I think this writing would not be appropriate in a second grade class. There is no major message of St. Patrick’s Day but it does explain part of the history of the holiday and how the Irish celebrate it even if they live in another country other than Ireland. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Part of Carolrhoda Books' On My Own Holidays series, St. Patrick's Day is a book I picked up with interest, given the fact that the holiday is around the corner. I expected to find it quite informative, given my enjoyment of two other titles in this series: Memorial Day and Labor Day, both written by Geoffrey Scott. Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed to find that this had very little about the holiday of St. Patrick's Day itself, and how the celebrations associated with it - particularly the parades here in the United States - got started. Rather, it focused almost exclusively on Saint Patrick himself—his biography, and the folktale associated with him. I understand the need to explore St. Patrick's own life story, as the day celebrates his role in Christianizing Ireland, but given the title here I would have liked a better balance, with more than just a few pages at the end discussing the holiday itself. In the end, this isn't really one I would recommend, either as a history of the holiday, or a biography of the saint. I will look for better titles for both purposes, going forward. ( )
