Loretta: Ace Pinky Scout

40 pp. | Scholastic | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-439-36831-6 $$16.95
(3) K-3 An exaggeratedly perfect little girl keeps her scout uniform spotless, bench-presses 375, and saves the world every Thursday--but fails miserably when she tries to roast a marshmallow to win a Golden Marshmallow Badge. The story's good-natured hyperbole, which spills over into the quirky, caricaturing artwork, works as Loretta learns that no one is good at everything--not even her overachieving relatives.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
