St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner! Or as we call it in our house Clover Day! One of our favorite ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is by reading St Patrick’s Day picture books. We read a couple of books each night leading up to St. Patrick’s Day.

The list of 20+ St Patrick’s Day Picture Books are perfect for read-alouds. They are also great for budding readers who are just beginning to practice reading on their own or with someone. The books are about St. Patrick’s Day themes. While some of the books have the added bonus of including numbers, colors, the alphabet or a history of St. Patrick’s Day.
