This is the second book about the irrepressible Sylvia Jean. In this book, Sylvia Jean’s Pig Scout troop is working on getting their Good-Dead Badge. Each of them has to select one a good deed to do.

Oh my, I love Sylvia Jean! Sylvia Jean, a Pig Scout, is determined to earn her Good-Deed Badge. She visits her neighbor Mrs. Van Hooven to cheer her up and help her recover from a twisted ankle. But things go from bad to worse and Sylvia Jean is banned from bothering her neighbor. Instead, Sylvia Jean visits her neighbor in a series of disguises and provides support and kindness. But because Sylvia Jean wasn't supposed to visit her neighbor, she can't reveal her good deed to earn her badge. Fort...more
Sylvia Jean picks her neighbor to do good deeds for since she has a twisted ankle. It doesn't go as well as she thought, so she dresses up as a different neighbor and tries to do a different nice deed each time. The Pig Scout Motto is to "never give up." In the end, she earns a badge and a new friend in her neighbor.
Cute story about a little pig who is an enthusiastic scout. She wants to earn her good deed badge by helping a neighbor recovering from foot surgery. She is a bit too much for the old pig and her doctor forbids Sylia Jean from visiting. Clever solution from a scout who never gives up.
This must be the second Sylvia Jean, but I had not read the first. I enjoyed it and might use it, but not as frequently as either Gingerbread Girl or Stella Louella. The story is nicely laid out, albeit very predictable.
Sylvia Jean wants to earn a scout badge by helping her older injured neighbor. Unfortunately, her idea of helping is not what her neighbor needs right now and so, Sylvia Jean is forced to be more creative.
I've tended in recent years to wince at all the damned anthropomorphic animal books, but I'll make an exception for these Sylvia Jean books.
Go eat a pork chop, "Olivia", a REAL pig diva has come to town!

Good book that indirectly teaches to be kind to older ones even if they a little grumpy. I liked that the lesson wasn't obvious. And that the little pig Sylvia had such a postive attitude.
Sylvia Jean needs to earn her "Good Deeds" pin to be a snout scout supreme- how can she do this if no one will let her help?

Leadership book from James Toole Toolbox. Empathy Leadership Mindset - listening carefully to the needs of others.
My little scout (7) loved this and so did her little sister (4). Fun!
Cute story of never giving up and the value of scouting and doing good deeds.
Pretty cute-I liked Sylvia Jean's costumes. I liked her creative project.
Loved this book. Just a good read aloud about doing good deeds.
This one cracked me up. Poor Sylvia Jean tries so hard!
really liked this about a very determined pig scout.
good deeds, pigs, scouting
That Sylvia Jean is quite the character. She is fun and imaginative. I love how creative she is in these books. She sets goals and then attains them and she is honest about her mistakes as well. She is a good role model and a fabulous pig! Quite the cute book. 2012-13 Missouri Show Me Award nominee.
Sylvia is determined to get her next badge, even if her help isn't wanted!
