Gail Gibbons’s books are particularly accurate because she goes right to the source when researching a topic. She has been on the seventeenth floor of a skyscraper in progress, has spoken with truck drivers about the workings of their rigs, has dismantled every clock in her home, and would have donned scuba diving gear to research a sunken ship had the sea waters not been too turbulent. Gail says "I had a lot of ‘whys’ when I was a child. I guess I still do."

Best book on the history and meaning of St. Patrick’s day—best book I have found on the holiday. I even learned new things as an adult. Read this book to my first grade students today and they loved it and had so many questions about it afterwards

Oh this is just the cutest book to help you child learn more about St Patricks Day!

5.0 out of 5 stars My students enjoyed the book
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016

This book contains a lot of information about the life of St. Patrick and St. Patrick's Day. I purchased it for use in my 2nd grade classroom in a public school. It wasn't as appropriate for this situation as I had hoped. Several pages of the book go into the religious aspect of St. Patrick's life. I found I had to skip over some sentences in order to be politely correct in my classroom. My students enjoyed the book, and we were able to create an anchor chart with the main details of the text. Gail Gibbons is a wonderful author and illustrator...so this is main reason I had purchased this book for use in my classroom without previously seeing the details.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT author for kids (and adults)
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2010
Verified Purchase
All of her books are wonderful about the origin of holidays and how today's traditions come from those beginnings. Her other holiday books also do a great job in combining religious and secular traditions. I have bought all of her holiday books becuase they teach ME things I never knew about those holidays (and I'm Irish!). I have all her holiday books and as my kids get older, I will buy her books on other subjects if my children show interest in those areas. I really hope she writes a 4th of July book.
