a few reviews of Here Come the Girl Scouts

Click through for the whole story!

From Publisher’s Weekly ~ Subdued blues, greens, and browns underscore the Scouts’ outdoor focus in newcomer Hooper’s folksy mixed-media art, which, much like Corey’s prose, portrays the Scouts and their history in a fresh, unstuffy manner.

Julie Danielson for Kirkus Reviews~ One well-crafted title I’ve already seen in 2012 is Shana Corey’s picture-book biography of Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, called Here Come the Girls Scouts! It’s illustrated by debut artist Hadley Hooper and was released by Scholastic this month in anticipation of the Girl Scouts’ 100th anniversary this spring.

Some nice mentions also from the blogs Great Kid Books, Nonfiction Detectives, and Good Reads.
