Of all the leprechauns who have ever lived, he is amazingly unique. Amos changes color with every new day of the week. But his Sundays are a mystery. Sunday’s colors are always found first in his dreams. And in Amos’s world, dreams often do come true.
About the AuthorJohn Kinyon grew up in the heartland of southern Iowa. The adventure, excitement, and mischief that were lived out on a small rural acreage developed into the treasure chest of stories and homespun tales that can only be found in a young boy’s heart. As an adult, revisiting that magical boundary that teeters somewhere between lively imagination and the mystery of the hidden helps him recall the important role that believing in the unseen has played in his own life.
John loves teaching and sharing the excitement of helping others find the stories, often tucked deep in memory, and bringing them to life. Whether it is the second graders he is teaching in northwest Arkansas or an audience “young at heart,” helping would-be writers find the methods, tools, and emotional energy to breathe them to life is his joy. This becomes evident when you hear his passion as he tells of his own. My Take on the BookWhat I loved about the book was the cadence and the rhythm of the book. I loved the rhyming words of the story and Amos the leprechaun. I also have to say that I enjoyed the fact that the book was full of educational moments. The story allows readers to learn about the days of the week and basic colors. It also was nicely illustrated with beautiful, prominent colors. The story itself was fun and made me think of a folk tale.
Overall, the book was designed for pre-school and kindergarten readers. My girls enjoyed listening to the story and my youngest took the book from me at the end of the story and started reading through the story herself asking me questions along the way.
This book was an exciting, fun , and engaging read. The story was well-written, and illustrated and a joy for all family members!
If you would like this book for your own family you can find it on Amazon!
