Siblings are a pain; Bossy Nancy always pesters Bean! Good thing Ivy is an only child…

@kidlitexchange #partner

Siblings are a pain; Bossy Nancy always pesters Bean! Good thing Ivy is an only child… When Ivy and Bean’s teacher instructs them to draw their Important People, Bean draws her family, a cousin’s pet alligator, her teacher - and Ivy. Ivy draws her adult family members - and Bean - along with: Abraham Lincoln, Mary Anning, Boudicca, and a gorilla. A classmate, who draws her several siblings, explains that that only children are almost always spoiled.

Ivy determines to get unspoiled; Ultimately, deciding that she requires a sibling. Will her mom have another baby? “Absolutely Not.” With the help of brain food, Ivy and Bean attempt: using electricity to bring a doll to life, begging the gods for a baby to fall from sky, and growing their skins together to become twins. The shenanigans are fruitless; however, Bean helps her friend realize that Ivy isn’t selfish because she cares about others. Zero siblings - or five, it doesn’t matter as long as Ivy treats others kindly. A good friend - a chosen sister - is all Ivy needed to realize this!

Appropriate for ages 6-10. Recommended for: Ivy and Bean fans eagerly awaiting book 11, kiddos with or without siblings, and fans of Bink and Gollie looking for more of a challenge!

Great Series!

These books are great. My 10 year old has re-read all the books she has. We have up through 11. They aren’t printed fast enough, nor are they in enough sets. My girls love them.

Great for young readers

Hope there are future additions to this fun series!

So excited the Ivy & Bean adventures continue. Coming to the last book, my oldest daughter was bummed she couldn’t keep reading up a storm with this series. To have my second have the treat of book 11 was fun!

Cute book!

Bought it for my 6 year old. Some words are a bit advanced for her but she really enjoyed the story. Ivy & Bean is her favorite series now.

Not what we expected.

Definitely not the storyline we expected. Bought this before our daughters became big sisters again. Very disappointing.

Grabbed the attention of a 7 year old

My 7 year old would just curl up in a corner and read without being promoted... Nuff said..
