Bookroo's summary

Leprechauns are known for hiding pots of gold, but Mrs. Bally Bunion, Miss Maude Murphy, and Old Jamie learn they also love mischief. As these magical tricksters weave their playful chaos, the question remains: will anyone catch them in the act? Dive into a whimsical adventure where the end of the rainbow holds more than just treasure.

From the publisher

What do leprechauns do? They bury a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, of course. But as Mrs. Bally Bunion’s ox, Miss Maude Murphy’s hen, and Old Jamie soon find out, they can’t resist having a little fun along the way. For, besides burying pots of gold, mischief is what leprechauns do!

From this amazing picture book duo comes a lively fun tale that’s perfect for mischief makers of all ages!
