Review + Giveaway: Mouse Scouts by Sarah Dillard

I'm so pleased that the first two books in Sarah Dillard's new chapter book series, Mouse Scouts, are now available wherever books are sold!

Recommended for ages 7-10, this new series follows two mice, Violet and Tigerlily. The two friends have just joined the Acorn Scouts and are on their way to earning the very first of their merit badges! In Mouse Scouts, the scouts plant and cultivate a vegetable garden to earn their "Sow It and Grow It" badge. In Make a Difference, Violet and Tigerlily must earn their "Make a Difference" badge, but they struggle to decide the best way to help their community.

With a total of 16 badges to earn, these first two books provide a great foundation for a continuing series.
