I love children's books and have a slight addiction to them. Reading books about a holiday can help children enjoy the day more. The pictures and stories bring the traditions to life. Here are some fun St. Patrick's day books for your family.
St. Patrick's Day Countdown
is a good choice for babies and toddlers. It's a board book so no ripped pages. The book counts down from 5-1 using St. Patrick's day symbols. ages 0-3

What Makes a Rainbow?: A Magic Ribbon Book
is not specifically St. Patrick's day book. It's a good one to buy if you want to read the book year round. My toddler has loved this book since he was a baby. As you turn each page a new color of ribbon is "magically" added to the rainbow. ages 4-8 (Although my baby does enjoy this book)

The Night Before St. Patrick's Day is a good story for preschoolers and kindergartners about catching a leprechaun. It would be a wonderful book to read before you make these. ages 4-8
St. Patrick's Day
is a great book to explain the history, symbols and traditions of St. Patrick's Day. ages 5-8
