How to Trap a Leprechaun by Sue Fliess, Emma Randall

Rating: WARTY!

I'm not usually down on children's books unless they're particularly egregious, but trapping a creature? It sounds cruel to me and potentially dangerous if the book advises on building a real trap. Hopefully the 'simple crafts' the blurb claims are employed really are simple and soft, but even if they are, the idea of imprisoning something for personal gain really isn't a good value to teach a child.
