"Willimena Rules" says my twin daughters

It's has been very difficult trying to find books for my twin 8yr old daughters. I wanted a series of books with the star character being an African American girl just having fun and doing kid stuff. A book that will make them know that reading is fun. This book does just that and more. I only wish that there were more of them because I already bought them all. If you're looking for a great chapter book for an African American girl, then author Valerie Wilson Wesley's series of "Willimena Rules" is it. Also try, Gloria Rising and Gloria's Way by Ann Cameron.

Girl Scout at Heart

Willimena is the top seller of Girl Scout cookies in her troop, but has spent her cookie money. She thought that she was doing a good thing using the money to buy her poor friends lunch each day, but now she has to come up with the money she owes the Girl Scouts. She tryes to make money with a lemonade stand and having a pet show, but each is a laughable failed attempt. She realizes what she has to do and fesses up. I really like how Valerie Wesley uses the Girl Scout law to provide a rationale for Willimena'a actions. This book is very well written for girls that are in elementary school and involved with the Girl Scout program. I really enjoyed this book and the ways that Willimena tries to make up the money she spent. It is soemthing every girl her age would think to do. I have done some of the same projects myself when I was about her age. It really is a book that even I could relate to and I'm sure that any girl involved in Girl Scouts would also enjoy.

Stroy of a Brownie Girl Scout

This is a story about a Brownie Girl Scout, some cookie money and a big problem for Willimena. The story shows Children who are companionate and caring. A great story for young children.

Cute story about a Brownie Girl Scout

We collect Girl Scout memorabilia, so this cute book went into our collection. It even has a moral!
