A fun and easy read and a fun exercise in the geography of Ireland.  The style is comical while some of the insights are actually deeper than they may first appear.

It's nice to have a great collection of hearty Irish dishes in one book.  There's a good variety, categorized by course, and the ingredients are readily available.  It's also helpful that measurements are not metric.  Yay!

I have a few nitpicks:

For at least one dish, the picture shows ingredients that aren't listed in the recipe.  It's easy enough to add carrots, but why not list them?

I can't recall one recipe that includes garlic.  Again, easy enough to add, but a cheese fondue without garlic?

At the end of the book, there are some pretty annoying pleas both to buy others of the author's books and to leave favorable Amazon reviews.  Please.

The worst transgression is that most, if not all, of the photographs are from Creative Commons (thus explaining the carrotless recipe, and the picture of the matchstick parsnips when the recipe calls for quartered).  This means the dishes were not photographed for this book.

This is a delightful book to learn a bit more about the history and geography of Ireland. Loved the dry humour sprinkled throughout the book.

My daughter was born on March 17, and we have strong Irish roots on both sides.
It's a fun little story both my kiddos like it. Will be fun to pull out each year. It inspired them to set some traps, too.

This book contains two main sections. The first gives us a list of first names currently in use in Ireland and their history and meaning. It is moderately thorough, and contains a number of names which are not Celtic in  their roots. The second section covers some of the more common family names  in use in Ireland, with black and white pictures of the crests. A  pronunciation guide would have been helpful, but is lacking. All in all, a  nice book to add to one's library of Irish reference books.

It was a fun read. I really got into the description of the Irish countryside and people. The descriptions of the food was also wonderful. It was a good twist on the Finding Oneself formula.

We love cute McCafferty!  This was a fun children's book with beautiful pictures of Ireland's countryside where McCafferty, the mule resides.  It was a fun tour with a sense of humor that even, dare I say, us parents would like to read again?

It was a very fun book to read. The differences in language between American and Irish made me laugh out loud. I would refer the book to all who want to read a fun romance.

This was a gift for my husband who is known as the Crazy Irishman in our family...He absolutely loves it and cannot stop reading it.  Very informative and interesting history of Ireland.  I highly recommend this to all the Irish out there.

Dublin is in Ireland and Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle because of the beautiful green colors of the grass, hills, and mountains. The illustrator has done a beautiful job bringing the beauty of Ireland to this book and capturing the history. There is so much to explore and the two Chihuahua siblings and their children explore it all.

Ireland has a lot of religious history, castles, and legends and the story-journey and pictures capture that, too.

The factoids are explained satisfactorily for the young age group for which the book is intended. The illustrations, bright, bold, and definitive are entertaining as well since they capture the essence of the two little dogs.

This entertaining and educational book does a good job of introducing the reader to Ireland and hence Dublin and all that the lovely, historic city encompasses. Not too much information, but enough.

This book is so funny, so Irish! And there's a pig in it. The other "Pig" books are fun, too.

Bought it last week during a trip to Ireland in Cahersiveen, Kerry and I think it is quite funny and I am enjoying it. As an American, a few of the references to things that only an Irish person living there would know went over my head, but it is still a funny, ribald, satirical view of Irish woman, society and other stuff that I haven't gotten to yet.
