### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The latest Ivy and Bean is pure fun!
*by Z***S on April 10, 2011*

My six-year-old daughter loves to read and has recently started reading chapter books. Once she got over her obsession with the Junie B. Jones series, I managed to get her interested in the Cam Jansen series of books and then I discovered the Ivy and Bean series. My daughter loves the central characters, Bean and her best friend Ivy. The girls are precocious, intelligent, and always up to some adventure (or misadventure, depending on how one looks at it!). These traits appeal to my daughter as she is quite the adventurer herself, and the chapters are relatively short, which makes it easy for her to read independently. The books average about 120 pages, and she manages to read up to 40 pages per sitting (around 45 minutes).What I found to be fascinating was that the plot for each story is so well-written and developed that my daughter could not stop once she started reading! I usually sit with her and supervise her reading, helping out with some difficult words, and she gets so involved with the story that she just keeps on reading. This to me is the mark of a good book, one that entices a young reader to keep reading. The language is not overly simplified, on the contrary, there are some challenging words which I help my daughter with (pronunciation and definition, if necessary).The black and white illustrations by Sophie Blacksall that appear in each chapter add to the appeal of these books. In the seventh installment, Ivy and Bean are informed by their teacher, Ms. Aruba-Tate that there is to be science fair at their school. The theme is global warming, and the children in the class are told to come up with interesting projects. Of course, Ivy and Bean are raring to go and devise all sorts of strange and interesting experiments, but nothing seems to work. What will the girls think of next and will it work? This is another winner in the Ivy and Bean series.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delightful!
*by S***S on October 7, 2010*

Ivy and Bean is my favorite kids series to read with my first grader. Reminiscent of the Ramona series, Ivy and Bean contains characters with good hearts and kid reasoning that occasionally causes trouble. We have loved every one of these books.Ivy and Bean What's the Big Idea does not disappoint. Reading this book aloud I actually laughed so hard we had to stop reading for a few minutes. The chapters are short, the vocabulary is manageable and the characters are admirable, and the message is positive. I wish there were 100 books in this series. Unlike the Junie B. Jones series, the characters are well-behaved and have good intentions. Although they have flawed reasoning, they have good hearts and try to good.My only complaint (and it is really my daughter's complaint) is that the cover is misleading. The girls never mix anything in beakers. The illustration on the cover of our book has the girls' teeth looking strangely gray.Annie Barrows has a gift with words and children relate to her. I highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staying with the Series
*by M***R on December 16, 2012*

I have been ordering this series, one by one, for my granddaughter. We read before bed every night she is with me, which is very often. At 7 and in second grade she can read these herself but when she gets too excited she asks me to read a while so she can just listen and giggle. I really like that the girls and their friends get into mischief in the same way as in the real world and lessons are learned. I will be sad when catch up to the current end of the series
