Mundorff playfully portrays collective nouns for animal groups in this good-natured roundup. In addition to the title troop (envisioned as participating in a variety of outdoor activities at Scout camp), there's a "stench of skunks" (complete with smelly locker room), a "business of ferrets" (depicted in a scene that could be straight out of The Office), and twelve more (six of which are listed at book's end). The text might be light on substance, but Mundorff's brightly colored digital-collage illustrations are full of humorous details.
