Patrick and his cousin Beth travel back to Ireland and the Druids.
They meet King Logaire and Bishop Patrick.
My second grader brought home this book from his school library and read it to himself. He thought it was exciting and liked the part when Patrick (the cousin) was able to meet the king.

A Fine St. Patrick's Day by Susan Wojciechowski illustrated by Tom Curry
Two towns, Tralah and Tralee, compete each St. Patrick's Day in a decorating contest. Tralah always wins. The story relates how a small gentleman comes on the eve of St. Patrick's Day for the villages' help in rescuing his cows stuck in the mud. Both towns are frantically completing their decorating tasks. Only the people from Tralee help the man and go to bed not completing their decorating. They awaken the next morning to a huge surprise and learn a lifelong lesson.

Clever Tom and the Leprechaun by Linda Shute
I loved the illustrations-facial expressions especially.
Tom happens upon a leprechaun and thinks that he will be set for life with the leprechaun's riches. The leprechaun has the last laugh, of course!!
Funny!
The author shares the history of the story, leprechauns, and of Ireland in the back.
