About this deal

Ivy and Bean make a plan to be so good and pure of heart that birds will come to them. They are starting with birds and not wolves because birds are stupider. They think nice thoughts about everyone - even Crummy Matt who lives down the street and tells kids that chocolate milk is brown because there is poop in it. In the stories, Ivy, a quiet intellectual girl, and Bean, a rambunctious wild girl, become fast friends despite their differences and initial reluctance to like each other. The series tagline sums up the series as "two friends who never meant to like each other." They are both seven year old girls who live on the cul-de-sac of Pancake Court which is set in an unmentioned town. In each book, they get into considerable mischief and have wild adventures with the other characters in the neighborhood.

UNIVERSAL THEMES: The perennial theme of friendship, strong characters and mischievous antics make the books great for both boys and girls. A long time ago a member of the Trotsdale community requested me to read and review the first book of Ivy & Bean. I recently finally was able to get my hands on a copy, and would certainly like to read this in the library.

An updated list with all the Ivy and Bean books in order

Maybe the birds felt sorry for her, but they didn't think she was one of them," said Ivy. "Anyway, I don't want to be like Snow White. I want to be like the guy in the picture. I want a wolf to follow me because I'm pure of heart." Because I don't want to scare the birds away. I'm trying to be so good that birds land on my fingers and wolves come out of the woods and follow me down the street," Ivy explained. The title's a pun: Of course, Ivy and Bean are bound to be bad (as in acting out), but in this book they also end up tied up (literally) as a result of their bad behavior. Are you looking your next feel-good friendship book series? Are you six years old (or older)? Do you LOVE adventure? Then let us introduce you to the dynamic (and ultra naughty) duo, Ivy and Bean!

They walked towards the living room. Ivy's mom was lying on the couch with cucumbers all over her face. By now Bean was so good she didn't even laugh. Ivy begs Matt to put Blister down. He doesn't. Then Ivy makes an impassioned plea, and promises to be his friend forever if he puts the rat down. Surprisingly, he does, but only to rip the headband off Ivy's head and throw it in the street. It's Career Day at Emerson Elementary School, and all the students have to choose what they want to be when they grow up. No problem. Ivy and Bean already have that all figured out. At least, they thought so, until they met Herman the Treasure Hunter. Now everyone in the second grade is looking for treasure—and finding it. Everyone except Ivy and Bean, that is. They need to get out their shovels and turn up some treasure on the double!

Publication Order of Ivy & Bean Books

Bean is a wild little girl who plays jokes on people, has a smart mouth, and loves playing outside and getting dirty. Ivy wears dresses, reads tons of books, and is very soft-spoken. They are best friends and have many adventures together. This is a cute children’s story characterized by humor, vibrant colors, and an intriguing storyline. The girls’ characters are done so well, and you cannot help but marvel at their creativity. Bean is the wild and restless one, while Ivy has an overactive mind. The girls easily build their worlds and enjoy getting their hands dirty like other children their age. Their silly pranks will land them in trouble but leave you with a smile on your face. The illustrations are well distributed throughout the book and add a lot to the story. You will love interacting with Bean with her wild nature and all the mischief. Ivy is also such a joy with her big dreams and all kinds of imaginations. Because his heart was so pure and kind that they saw that he was the same as an animal on the inside. They loved him," Ivy said. The books feature illustrations, but are not picture books. The reading level is suitable for grades three and above. As of 2021, there are twelve books in the series. [1] Books [ edit ] As in the last book (4), I felt that this installment showed nice progression (better than books 1,2, and 3). The book starts out in one place (Bean feeling bad about being a "bad girl"), going to a totally different place (Ivy and Bean's plan to be good and pure of heart), turning into Bean acting horrid on purpose so that Ivy can reform her, and ending in a totally different place that I won't spoil for you. It's very satisfying to read a chapter books for little kids that actually goes somewhere instead of having chapters that just divide up the same long idea. This book and book 4 allows the reader to go on an actual journey, just like in a book aimed at older audiences. I really appreciate this, and I think parents will too - especially if their child still likes being read out loud to.
