Publisher Description
Have you ever wondered how to Trap a Leprechaun Elf or what might happen if you did?
Trap the Leprechaun (aka Trap the Elf®) considers what the good luck leprechaun elf might look and act like; where one might find them and how to build a trap—anytime of the year. It also tells a tale of what happens should you be so lucky to trap one!
Susan Oppelt, an artist, was inspired by a childhood memory of a leprechaun elf, as well as engaging children 4-8 through the story, art, and a physical experience that they could create themselves.
The story written as a rhyme and light interactive elements engage children’s imagination instantly. Tap to see hidden imagery, hear atmospheric audio or play a couple of simple stop motion videos as the story unfolds. Then take the story offline, following the included official Trap the Leprechaun schematics in a DIY activity sure to please creative, imaginative minds anytime of the year.
The art is a montage of handmade 3D characters (leprechaun elf, fairies, and gnomes) using a needle felting technique and photography. This fusion creates a magical world that feels real yet something kids can relate to.
Get ready for St. Patrick's day and enjoy a little magic today!
Customer Reviews
A true gem..
Trap the Elf is magical story, with beautiful illustrations and a lovable, curious elf who leaves you excited to turn the page. My daughter was intrigued by the interactive nature of the book and the hidden images/audio; it was fantastic to see her so immersed and engaged with a new discovery on each page. As for her mommy, the story brings a smile to my face every time we read it together, reminding me of my childhood days of making special wishes and stumbling upon a pot of gold on the other side of a rainbow. This, unlike most, is a very special children's book.
My children loved it!
The artistry and interactivity of this book is truly amazing. The author Susan Oppelt uses her "magic" to combine wonderful visuals, delightful sound and gleeful video surprises. This book will bring many smiles and giggles from children of all ages (even me!). In fact, my 11 year old couldn't get enough! In my book, it's a great addition to any library and I can see us going back and enjoying it again and again! Bravo!
