Young readers not already familiar with St. Patrick's Day will find plenty to learn about here, and the narrative is just part of the fun; Smith's brilliantly hued illustrations are bursting with lively, amusing details that add richness to the story... Kids will love Chloe Zoe's wish-for "a new class pet" as the old one, a hamster named Marshmallow, has gone missing-almost as much as they relish the surprise ending, where that wish comes true in a delightfully unexpected way. Along the way, Chloe Zoe learns how to manage pins-and-needles excitement, nervous anticipation, and a little sprinkle of disappointment as well-all valuable emotional lessons for young readers, especially Smith's careful attention to how those feelings can play out in our bodies at times. This is a magical holiday treat." -Publishers Weekly BookLife
