The Leprechaun in the Basement

32 pp. | Whitman | January, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-4450-7 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Sandford. Young Michael McKeever discovers a leprechaun in the basement of his Chicago home, but the leprechaun won't share his gold, even though Michael's father is out of work. After the leprechaun and Michael call each other "greedy" and "selfish" they both have a change of heart. Watercolor and pencil illustrations give a homespun feel to the somewhat didactic story.
