review 1: Highly Recommended [return][return]This non-fiction picture book tells the story of the Girl Scouts. Readers are introduced to Juliette Gordon Low’s and her trip to England and learning about the Girl Guides to where Girl Scouts are at today. Readers learn about how the Girl Scouts have changed throughout their history. At the end of the story we see examples of famous Girl Scouts like Gloria Steinem, Hillary Clinton, Lisa Ling and there is a place for the reader to put her picture.[return][return]The writing is fun to read. Readers are exposed to words like gumption and spunk. Girls are portrayed as adventurous and ready to learn new things. The illustrations are realistic and sort of have a 1950’s vintage vibe. The colors reflect the colors in nature and th... moree Girl Scout uniforms. It’s a really cute theme. It’s full of historical information that would be of interest to many elementary aged girls.[return][return]The book is perfect to read to Daisy and Brownie Troops. I read it to a first grade Daisy troop and they were quiet the whole time. They loved the story and it seemed to be easy for them to understand. There is an AR quiz that accompanies this book, so students who like AR quizzes are in luck! This is a really nice book for a school or public library. Girl Scouts of all ages will enjoy the story and pictures. The end of the book has extensive back matter with examples of how the Girl Scouts fit into US history, a painting of Low and a photo of a 1913 Girl Scout Troop. The author included the Girl Scout Promise and the Girl Scout Law. This book would make a great gift for a girl during a Girl Scout bridging ceremony.
review 2: This is the story of Girl Scouts Founder, Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low. It is an inspiring tale of her life, her adventures and the founding of the Girl Scouts. I am always a fan of books about strong women who change the world and this book is no exception. I especially liked the quotes from the Girl Scout handbook and the tongue-in-cheek illustrations that go along with some of the quotes from the original handbook. It does a nice job of highlighting the history of this organization and its founder and showing the societal changes that girls and women have experienced in this country in a subtle manner to be discovered. I think both of my girls (both members of GS troops) would enjoy the book and its reading would be thought-provoking. less
