Typical Black Lagoon book - clever jokes, comical pictures and fun facts about the holiday.

Mrs. Green announces to the class that St. Patrick's day is next week, and everyone is supposed to wear something green. Hubie can't think of what to wear, but his art teacher, Miss Swamp, helps him with his problem. Hubie's mom tells him a little about St. Patrick, and how he ran all the snakes from Ireland, and brought the first book to Ireland. When the day arrives the school is decorated with green, leprechauns, and rainbows, and all the food for lunch is green. The day ends with a parade. There are plenty of leprechaun jokes at the end of this book to enjoy.

Hubbie es un niño que le encanta imaginar cosas monstruosas que repitan y se mueven en su escuela, en su casa, en el autobus. Ahora ha llegado el día de San Patricio y debe vestir algo color verde para la fiesta de la escuela ¿Que se pondrá? Diversión garantizada para los niños. :)

My favorite will always be "The Librarian from the Black Lagoon" with Mrs. Beamster. This one was not as funny, but still okay if you like the series.

Matthew says " It's amazing because it's really kinda funny it says if you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day you will get pinched !"

This series has me laughing. It has small chapters but I think it's great for emerging readers to feel like they are accomplishing big things.

St. Patrick's Day is coming, and our lad has to find a green outfit so he doesn't get pinched.

St. Patrick's Day will have a whole different meaning for him in a few years.
