Harp O' Gold - By Teresa Bateman

An Irish minstrel discovers the shallowness of fame and wealth, when a miniature man one day gives him the kind of glamorous harp he's always wanted. This book not only teaches a lesson in contentment, but is also an ideal read for a 1st. or 2nd. grade unit on "St. Patrick's Day"! Colorful cartoon illustrations appeal to the young.
