New York Times best-selling series of books for children - Ivy Bean Ivy and Bean, two friends who never meant to like each other: This boxed set, Ivy and Bean Boxed Set: Books 7-9 continues the story of these two spunky characters. It includes the third of three books in the Ivy and Bean series. Author Annie Barrows talks about her award-winning Ivy Bean series: One of the big problems of being a kid is that your parents often try to make you play with people you dont really like. My parents were forever trying to get me to like the kids of their friends. These kids were often weird. I didnt want to play with them. It was a problem. Ivy and Bean are very different: Bean is loud and wild and goofy. She loves to be involved in games and poke her nose in other peoples business. Ivy is quiet and full of ideas. She spends most of her time learning how to be a witch. Each girl thinks the other one is weird. Each girl thinks she could never be friends with the other. Especially because their parents keep nagging them about it. But sometimes opposites can become the best of friends because theyre opposites. Ivy and Bean Boxed Set: Books 7-9 includes: Book 7: Ivy Bean: Whats the Big Idea? Wouldnt it be cool if Ivy and Bean found the solution to global warming? Wouldnt it be especially cool if the solution was shimmering pink goo in a test-tube and all the famous scientists in the world wished they had thought of it first? Its Science Fair time at Emerson School, and all the kids are supposed to find a way to cool down the earth. Some kids are planting trees. Some kids are holding their breath for a very, very long time. Some kids are doing interesting things with vacuum cleaners. But what should Ivy and Bean do? Something with explosions? Something with ropes? Something with ice cubes? Or maybe something very, very quiet . . . Book 8: Ivy Bean: No News Is Good News: Ivy and Bean need some money. Ten dollars, to be exact. Never mind what for. Dont even ask. Okay, its for cheese. Two bags of lowfat Belldeloon cheese in a special just-for-you serving size. Dont ask why. But ten dollars is a lot of money. How are Bean and Ivy going to make ten dollars? Should they babysit? Eww, diapers. No. Should they wash the car? Theyre not allowed to touch the car. No. Should they write a newspaper about their neighbors and sell it? Yes. Great idea-and easy too! All Ivy and Bean have to do is snoop around Pancake Court and gets some news. Its very interesting what you can find out if you look in your neighbors windows. Its even more interesting when the neighbors read about it in the newspaper. Book 9: Ivy Bean Make the Rules: Its Spring Break, and Beans older sister, Nancy, is going to Girl Power 4-Ever Camp, where she will do Crafts and Dance and First Aid and other secret things that Bean will never know about because you have to be eleven to go to Girl Power 4-Ever Camp. Bean doesnt care. She doesnt want to go to camp. She wouldnt go even if they begged her. So ha. So ha ha. So-wait a second! Bean and Ivy can make their own camp, their own better camp. Its Camp Flaming Arrow, where Crafts include escaping, Dance includes thumbtacks, First Aid includes zombies, and counselors Ivy and Bean make the rules. If you and your child liked Junie B. Jones, Magic Tree House books, and Princess in Black; youll love Ivy & Bean.
