Patrick is a Leprechaun, but he is tired of green. He loves all colours, but especially yellow, so when he sees a rainbow he decides to follow it to see if there really is a pot of gold at the end.

This is a lovely example of an early reader. Simple and colourful illustrations, an easy-to-follow story, and simple vocabulary ideal for those just learning to read. The text is large-size and easy to see even though my Kindle would not resize it. Read by parents as a bedtime story or by children on their own to learn, this would be great for the under-5 age group, and possibly those in playschool or first school. It has a short sample of another story at the end, which is as promising as this one.

The only downside is that it uses American spelling (e.g. ‘color’ not ‘colour’), and so may be confusing to children just learning to read and write.
