The Magic Tree House leprechaun is a character that appears in the popular children's book series, Magic Tree House, written by Mary Pope Osborne. Leprechauns are a staple in Irish folklore, known for their mischievous nature, elusive behavior, and association with treasure. In the Magic Tree House series, the leprechaun is depicted as a small and sprightly creature with a green hat and coat, a long white beard, and a mischievous smile. The Magic Tree House leprechaun first appears in the book "Leprechaun in Late Winter," where main characters Jack and Annie are transported to ancient Ireland through the magic tree house. They encounter the leprechaun while on a quest to find the fourth and final special kind of magic that will free them from a spell. The leprechaun, named Teddy, guides them on their journey, helping them navigate the tricky and magical world of ancient Ireland.
Still, I think one could create a series on this topic in relation to Pius XII, John Paul II, John XXIII, Paul VI, Benedict XVI, or even Leo XIII. Each of these Holy Fathers has influenced American politics and thinkers to some extent—some more than others.
Habemus Papam is a wonderful contribution to biographical literature on Pope Benedict XVI, and especially helpful in conveying a positive introduction to the Holy Father to a new generation of Catholic youth.

The leprechaun, named Teddy, guides them on their journey, helping them navigate the tricky and magical world of ancient Ireland.

However, like all leprechauns, Teddy has a mischievous side.

I need to preface this review with two facts, first I am a huge fan of Regina Doman's prose. He fiction is among my all time favorite books. Second, I do not read a lot of graphic novels. Graphic novels especially in the manga style are typically not my thing. Fortunately, this volume only uses the characteristic oversized heads and super sized eyes for children, so for the most part not an issue. That being said I really enjoyed this book. Over the years I have read much written by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. Both prior to and after his election to the seat of Peter. But this is really the first time I have read much about him. And there was so much in this volume that surprise, amazed and even astonished me that I plan on reading more about the man that I believe will one day be named a saint.
This book was an incredible read. There is so much information in this graphic novel. Situations and events in his life that were not part of my knowledgebase. I was totally unaware of his sister's role in his life and ministry. I had encountered stories about his brother in numerous readings, but the role Maria played. Even though she worked other jobs, she was his secretary, editor and support throughout her life. She followed his as his role within the church changed all the way to the Vatican.
The book is written as a series of reflections back in time. It begins with Joseph being told by another cardinal either at the conclave or before it that he must become pope. From ether the story goes back to childhood memories, memories of John Paul II's election. Different roles and responsibilities he had that lead to this point. The story is masterfully told. Readers will come to see and appreciate the humble and gentle nature of this man that was known for so long as Pope John Paul II's rottweiler. Readers will encounter the man who was humble enough to step down from the seat of Peter. The man who was misunderstood through most of his public life, and yet a man who served God, the people and the church with all his heart.
The illustrations of the children as mentioned are not in a style that I am a fan of. But, even with that being stated this book is wonderfully illustrated. The spirit of Benedict is captured in both the words and the illustrations. Honestly anyone could read this book, no matter their knowledge of graphic novels or Pope Benedict XVI and appreciate it. Learn from it and grow from what they learn.
I could not put this book down, I devoured it in a single reading. And have already started reading it again with my youngest two children. And it has lead to me picking up another book on Benedict XVI already and likely more future readings.
