WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
The
world of the Mouse Scouts takes place in our world... but on a
miniature level. The book follows a Mouse Scout troop as they begin the
next level of scouts. The scouts have a new troop leader, rumored to be
very tough, and the
girls are nervous. This girls start their scouting year be creating a
garden. Like any project, there are setbacks and things the girls have
to work together to overcome. The mice make for a
great example of using their resources wisely, taking care of their
community, and teamwork.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Each
scout has very different personalities. One of them is a bit of a mean
girl, but she has redeeming qualities and does still work with the
troop.
REVIEW:
This
is a lighthearted book about friendship and of course, being a scout.
It is neatly written and you will enjoy reading through it as much as
your daughter. There are lots of fun pictures to accompany each page as
well. A fun bonus with this book is that your daughter (and her troop)
can earn a badge alongside the mouse scouts. You can technically earn the badge by just reading the book, but it's more fun if you do the printable activity kit. What my young reader most enjoyed was the similarities to her own scout troop. At the end of each chapter is an excerpt from the Mouse Scout Handbook. She loved reading their handbook and seeing the mouse uses of everyday objects. For example, the use of a fork as a mouse rake.
WHO SHOULD READ IT?
Girl
Scouts! And really any girl. The chapters are short and could easily be
read at a troop meeting. I would think ages 5-11 would most enjoy this
book.
