Here Come the Girl Scouts!: The Amazing All-True Story of Juliette 'Daisy' Gordon Low and Her Great Adventure

Once again, author Shana Corey has created a fun and wonderfully informative picture book about a great woman from history! Just in time for the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Girl Scouts comes this engaging title. Both the world of Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, and the beginnings of Girl Scout history come to life through the words and just-perfect illustrations. I read this to my daughter's 2nd grade Brownie troop, and the girls loved it. Another mom commented that the girls were "rapt," which is saying a lot for a group of 11 seven-year-olds! This is the book for you if you are a Girl Scout, were a Girl Scout, or have a Girl Scout in your life with whom you would love to share a fantastic picture book.

I was a girl scout in the late 60s and early 70s, so this brought back great memories, reminding me of the badge envy I had in 4th grade. The book celebrates the pioneering spirit of its founder Juliette "Daisy" Low, and her gumption to lead girls into adventure. I shared this book with my nieces who appreciated how this story was brought to life through its charming illustrations. The book is worth owning for the beautiful art within it, not to mention the inspiring story. I bought multiple copies to share, and it's now my coffee table featured book!

I bought this for my daughter for her bridging to Brownies-- it's a really special gift!

Great story to share with your Girl Scouts. My Juniors & Cadettes could really relate to the story. Must share!

"Here Come the Girl Scouts" is a fun, beautifully illustrated book about the founder of the Girl Scouts in America. My daughter picked this book up at the library, we took it home to read, and the next day - we registered her for scouting- it made her THAT excited!! People seem confused as to what Girl Scouts actually DO, aside from camping out and selling delicious cookies, and this book is a good, easy to understand explanation of the Girl Scouts. I read this book at all of our recruitment event for Girl Scouts as well as award this book in a raffle for all events I lead for younger troops! A must read, must own book for younger scouts!

I bought this for my Brownie troop while they worked on their story telling badge. I have to say I think it is a great book. It is full of lots of information about Juliette and how she started the Girl Scouts. It also has lots of neat sayings sprinkled throughout. The girls did find it difficult to read a loud because the got confused with what was part of the story and what was a saying. Still I would highly recommend it for younger girl scouts and their leaders.

Read this with our brownie troop as part of the steps to earn the "Girl Scout Way" badge. We all learned a lot about our founder in a fun and easy to read way. We'll be using and sharing this book with future troops.

I was a Girl Scout for many years and was a leader for several years. My mom was a scout and a leader for most of her life. This book reminded me of how important the Girl Scout organization was to both of us. It is suitable for scouts of all ages. It is a picture book for younger children. It has humorous and historical facts about Juliette Gordon Low for all ages and concludes with a more advanced history about the founder of Girl Scouts. Loved the book.
