"Larry, popularity doesn't mean right. Often, the path we take is the smartest path, and hard work doesn't lead to results. Smart decisions do."
My son is familiar with leprechaun from his videos and this book gave a little bit different lesson about making smart decisions through boy leprechaun named Larry.
I said this book different is because other books my son read mostly taught about hard work and never give up. However, in this book, different yet realistic perspective is presented on how sometimes indeed hard work doesn't lead to good ending but smart decisions do. Larry's simple story in this book was so helpful to make my son understand that new realistic perspective. I still needed to elaborate with the subject since my son had quite many follow-up questions. At the end, I think my son understood that we need to both making smart decisions and still do hard work if needed.
The illustrations were good and strengthen the storyline. Since it's about leprechaun, the green is dominant color in the illustrations. Yet we (my son and I) didn't feel overwhelmed with the bright colors.
Thank you to Alan Howard and NetGalley for the ARC.
