|

Time to read 4 min

As a leader, I am always on the lookout for new and exciting activities to engage my girls. In building this community of amazing leaders, I had the pleasure of connecting with Sarah Dillard, a talented author and illustrator. She has created the delightful “Mouse Scouts” book series.


Sarah’s series isn’t just a reading opportunity; it’s a treasure trove of activities and projects related to the books. Plus, there’s a fun patch available to award your girls once they complete the program.


What Are the Books About? The “Mouse Scouts” series by Sarah Dillard follows the adventures of two mouse friends, Violet and Tigerlily, and their Mouse Scout troop. Each book focuses on earning a badge, with each chapter ending in a page from the Mouse Scout handbook, filled with projects and activities for your girls. Sarah even designed an adorable patch for their vests!


Many reviewers compare “Mouse Scouts” to “Junie B. Jones” for its appeal to elementary readers. This series is perfect for grades K-5, and your troop is sure to recognize and enjoy some fun scouting traditions!


There are four books in the series:

Engage your girls with the charming “Mouse Scouts” series and enjoy the adventures and activities it brings to your troop!

A little about the author

I asked Sarah to tell me a little bit about her self. She was briefly a Brownie and a Junior Scout. She fondly remembers making macaroni necklaces and, less fondly, one horrible camping trip when she had to eat the worst oatmeal ever.


On the brighter side, Sarah studied art at Wheaton College and illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design. Sarah is also the writer and illustrator of Perfectly Arugula, First Day at Zoo School and the Extraordinary Warren books.. She lives in Waitsfield, Vermont, with her husband and chocolate lab. 


She is also available for Skype visits and also writing workshops for Girl Scouts so be sure to reach out to her if your interested in even more of a personal touch with these books.
