When a leprechaun wants you to learn history, you’d better pay attention! It is Christmas Eve 1776. Shamus the leprechaun and his companion Rocco the flying dog enter the Camp of General George Washington. The two arrive at the general’s tent and he invites them inside to get warm and wash up. Washington shows Shamus his plans to cross the Delaware and attack the Hessians in Trenton the next day. Shamus and Rocco go along to see history in the making. After the battle, Shamus and the general depart, with Shamus once again searching for gold, and George Washington and his troops fighting for freedom. Shamus Meets General George Washington is just another day in the life of an adventurous leprechaun who loves to tell stories about American history! Paul E. Harvey Jr. was raised on a farm in Harbourton, New Jersey, and now lives in Bordentown, New Jersey. This is his second book in the Shamus series. I noticed the lack of young children knowing American history. It seems it’s not being taught like it was in my day and that saddens me. I thought if I used a story with a leprechaun and a flying dog telling stories about history, it may get younger children to want to learn more about our forefathers and the events that happen in America. After all, who is better telling history stories than a wee little leprechaun who has lived for hundreds of years? Publisher’s website: http: //sbprabooks.com/PaulEHarveyJr
