Exploring Leprechauns in Children's Literature

The video is a read-aloud of 'That's What Leprechauns Do' by Eve Bunting, where three leprechauns, Arie, Boo, and Cole, embark on their duty to place a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Along the way, they engage in mischievous acts, such as painting a cow's hooves red, tying long johns in a knot, and tricking a hen with a tennis ball. Despite their antics, they fulfill their duty, placing the pot of gold at the rainbow's end, though no one finds it. The video concludes with a brief explanation of leprechaun lore.
