Ivy and Bean is a good transitional fiction book with supportive illustrations on every page. The dynamic between Ivy and Bean is realistic and irresistible. It's not a series I'm likely to read more of, but kids who enjoy the first volume have several other books in the series available to them.
A cute story about two girls who become great friends. Neither one wants to play with the other one even though their mothers want them to. Of course, they end up thrust together and discover how much they compliment each other. One of the girls is quite naughty and I'm not altogether sure this w...
A fun friendship story with illustrations (love Sophie Blackall) for 1st-3rd graders. Ivy and Bean are pretty mischievous.
This is such a cute little story. Ivy and Bean discover each others friendship while embarking upon a small backyard adventure.

This book was recommended to my niece, nephew, and me by Cheryl in CCNV, and it was a good recommendation! My niece loved this book! I think she identified with the main characters. She understood their friendship and their motivations, and enjoyed the growth of their relationship. She was excit...
Cute friendship story about two different little girls learning to appreciate each. I would have liked it better if Bean hadn't been such an obnoxious little brat.

I did really like the mix of pictures and story, the comic book(ish) style that it had going for it, which there aren't as many of with specifically female stories, I thi...
A pre-read for the Possum, since she won't touch much that doesn't come personally recommended. ***More for the KitKat, it turns out. Ivy and Bean are both seven.
My daughter said to give this one 5 stars, so there ya go! She really liked this book, especially Ivy (I am just tying what she tells me to ;)
