Review of St. Patrick's Day in Ireland - A Child's View
Quick! This sweet little vox of Irish children is just the ticket for St. Paddy's Day. Even if you've got your Irish programming all set, it would be worth rearranging things for the sounds of these adorable children and their wisdom about the man who drove the snakes out of Ireland, (even reminding them to buckle up in the process)
Really well done, thanks, Maeve!
