Books About St. Patrick’s Day for Kids

Sharing is caring!

To keep with the St. Patrick’s Day theme (after covering recipes and crafts) or if you’re planning on studying Ireland, here are 20+ books about St. Patrick’s Day for kids.

I’ve also included a few that aren’t St. Patrick’s Day specific, but are related to Ireland and/or Irish culture. When we cover St. Patrick’s Day in Tot School or Homeschool Preschool (or beyond), I intend to make it more of an Ireland and Irish Culture theme rather than just St. Patrick’s Day.

This book list is mostly for younger children though I’ll also include a book list for older children in the future- hopefully before next year!

1. The Night Before St. Patrick’s Day
2. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Curious George tabbed board book
3. There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Clover!
4. That’s What Leprechauns Do
5. The Luckiest St. Patrick’s Day Ever
6. Ten Lucky Leprechauns
7. St. Patrick’s Day
8. Patrick: Patron Saint of Ireland
9. Green Shamrocks
10. Jamie O’Rourke and the Big Potato
11. Jack and the Leprechaun (Pictureback(R))
12. The Leprechaun’s Gold
13. The Leprechaun Trap: A Family Tradition For Saint Patrick’s Day1
14. Hooray for St. Patrick’s Day! (Lift-the-Flap, Puffin)
15. The Leprechaun Who Lost His Rainbow
16. O’Sullivan Stew (Picture Puffins)
17. Too Many Leprechauns
18. St. Patrick’s Day Alphabet
19. S is for Shamrock: An Ireland Alphabet (Discover the World)
20. St. Patrick’s Day (All About Holidays)
21. Black Potatoes: The Story of the Great Irish Famine, 1845-1850
22. Fin M’coul: The Giant of Knockmany Hill
23. Tim O’Toole and the Wee Folk (Picture Puffins)
24. Great Irish Legends for Children
25. Traditional Irish Fairy Tales
26. Jamie O’Rourke and the Pooka
27. The History of Ireland

If we add any of these to our own library, I’d love to get S is for Shamrock, The History of Ireland, Great Irish Legends for Children, The Leprechaun Trap, and The Night Before St. Patrick’s Day. Of course, I’d love to eventually add all of these! I remember reading Fin M’coul when I was younger.
