Ivy & Bean

review 1: The Ivy and Bean series is one of my favorite early chapter book series. Without feeling dated or precious, the books harken back to a time when kids could roam the neighborhood finding fun and parents engaged in benign neglect. The books are fun to read aloud and contain a lot of humor and word play. Even though the title characters are girls, the books' plots appeal to both boys and girls (e.g., ghost in the school bathroom, trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records, digging for fossils, starting a detective agency). Indeed, my twin boys loved these books when they were in first and second grades (the intended audience for the series). If you like the Stink and Judy Moody series (two of my other favorites), I recommend Ivy and Bean.
review 2: Disa... moreppointed with the ending. Kids will be left wondering about the yellow rope, but not in a good way. These kinds of early chapter books always have an ending that wraps everything up in a neat and tidy way. This will be confusing for these types of readers. And the "mysteries" that Bean was trying to solve at the beginning of the book were not mysteries, more like wonderings. Did I miss something? Was going to read this aloud to my 2/3 graders, but now I'm rethinking it. less
