Bean feels super bored until girl named Ivy comes to town. And despite the fact that the girls are polar opposites in out things, they find a way to cure boredom

Ivy+Bean is a cute book about two young girls who become friends. Originally when Bean's mother can't stop talking about the Ivy who lived across the street, Bean decides she doesn't want to become friends with the new girl. But then when Bean is playing a trick on her older sister, Ivy helps hide Bean to avoid punishment. Will these two opposites become friends? I this is a great book for those who are still young readers. Probably elementary ages. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is so good and funny and instersting and when you first start the book you will love and like it you how I know because I have the book and it is book number three and I'm on page fifty-tow I holpeful you like the book 😉🙂🙂.

Bean couldn't be any more bored. It seem as if no one shares the same interests, and she always ends up by herself. Until she meets Ivy. Ivy is smart, spunky, and full of imagination. Will the two girls clash? #readnow!!! #itsepic

I agree with you.

I totally love this book! I think it is perfect for kids 6-9. I love how different their personalities are, yet they are best friends.

This book is best for beginning readers. It is a good book to read when you do not have anything else to do

When bean mother suggest that she becomes friends with ivy the new girl across the street. She thinks undesirably about it. Tomboy bean thinks that girl Ivy could never be her friend. But when Bean a newly training witch does some naughty things to her sister Nancy, she’s in for it! But with the help of ivy will they both become the best of friends? This charming, cute, and quick book has great dialogue and illustrations on every page. All this is also followed with a great life lesson in the end.

This was a good read for me. Ivy is a new girl in Bean's neighborhood. However, as soon as Bean and Ivy met, they knew they couldn't be friends with each other, and even before that. Every action that Bean did seemed to counteract Ivy's actions. Ivy was the kind of girl that's 'prim and proper', and Bean loves to stomp in puddles, smash rocks to find gold, etc. Bean decides that she wants to play a joke on her sister, Nancy. What will happen to Nancy? And how will it affect Bean and Ivy's relationship? Read this wonderful book full of humor and delightful moments!

A cute story about two elementary girls full of curiosity and kindness... and a little mischieve here and there. Follow Ivy and Bean in the first book of the complete series as the two new best friends. The story is quite hilarious and go with the adventure of the girls misbehaving pleasures.

I really want this book because my cousin is leaving to florida and coming back May 23, 2016 and as you can see in the cover there Ivy and Bean are best friends (I think I never read this book) and she is like a sister tome so i want to read this book on May 23, 2016 please she is leaving Friday 20, 2016. I will miss her. :( . She is 6 years old.
