Fun and feisty! I loved this playful telling of the background on the Girl Scouts and a biography of their founder, Daisy. Whimsical illustrations and Girl Scout quotes sprinkled in the book add dimension to this very important story about all the ways a girl can make a difference in the world!

This winning picture book details the life of Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low and how she started the Girl Scouts in 1912. Having never been a Girl Scout myself, I learned a lot about the early days of the organization. Girl Scouts is a popular topic at my library and the books coming out about its start are a very welcome addition to our library collection!

An adventurous leader and role model, Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low, founded the Girl Scouts over 100 years ago. She believed that our nation should encourage girls to grow into productive, well-rounded members of society. Here Come the Girls Scouts! is a picture book biography that captures the Low’s lively spirit with winding text and mock-block-printed illustrations. Quotes are woven into each scene. The book concludes with portraits of famous girl scouts, a historical spread, and a bibliography.

Great biography about the founder of the girl Scouts! Loved the artistic way the quotes were interspersed throughout the illustrations. Two favorites from the original GS handbook written in 1913: "Many of the greatest movements for the good of people, and those which have influenced the world most, have been the work of one person." "When mean girls want you to join in some fun, when you think its not right....be brave, and have courage to say it isn't right. You will feel twice as happy afterwards."

Striking illustrations in 1910's style, bold lines and flat colors. Author's note adds a lot of information. Has ending spread with images of famous women who were Girl Scouts, like Lucille Ball or Hillary Clinton, tying Scouts to modern era. Has quotes from the Scouting handbook and from Low herself, and sources listing origin of each quote.
