Four leaf clovers everywhere and leprechauns on the run: this is the St Patrick's Day book in Silver Dolphin's You're My Little series, and it is the rare holiday board book that a family actually keeps out all March.

Every spread pairs a short rhyming line about how lucky a parent is with a textured object raised off the page, so the reading is a hunt as much as a story. That physical hook is what holds a one year old's attention past the second page, and it is why these books get requested again immediately.

Nicola Edwards writes it, Natalie Marshall illustrates it in her bright graphic style, and it sits alongside You're My Little Pumpkin Pie and You're My Little Honey Bunny on the holiday shelf. 18 thick pages at seven and a half inches square, publisher guidance 0 to 2 years, and a good deal easier to give than another green plastic hat.
