My 4 year old son loves this book, it's nice and short for us to read together with not too many words on each page as he like to move through books at a fast pace, he finds the story hilarious! A beautiful introduction to Irish myths and legends for children, highly recommended
Format:Paperback

I bought four copies of this book as I have just had a wee boy and named him Finn. This is an exciting version of the Finn MacCool story which could be read to young children or which could be read independently and enjoyed by 6/7/8 year olds. This gift has been very well received by children of different ages and would make an excellent gift for children.
