I read Troop Esme with my 7 and 9 year old daughters and they loved it. They thought it was funny and Like Esme and her friends. I liked the illustrations and thought it was a very cute and fun story. It was a quick read and my kids didn't want to put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC for review!

I am a second grade teacher, this book will be a perfect read aloud for a classroom. We have a character study unit and this book will easily allow students to identify character traits.

I love Esme! Esme's Birthday Conga Line is one of my favorite transitional chapter books and Troop Esme is a perfect follow up. The pacing is perfect with simple enough sentences, but plenty of personality from the ensemble of characters. This is a great read-aloud for pre-k students who have the stamina for a chapter book, and is also good for 1st-2nd graders who are reading independently.

I highly recommend Troop Esme for all schools and libraries.

Troop Esme is about a girl who wants to earn Badger badges, but she isn't in a troop. She decides to make her own and help a current Troop Badger sell all his cookies. The illustrations are very cute and the page count would be better for kids ready for beginning chapter books.

Thanks to Tundra Book Group and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
