Book 5 of 12: Ivy and Bean

See all formats and editions

In the fifth entry in the New York Times–bestselling series, two friends come up with a crazy plan to lure wild animals home.

Bean’s day is going downhill, and it’s only nine in the morning. Is it her fault she licked syrup off her plate? Is it her fault Nancy’s yarn got used up? Yes. Bean wonders if being good is worth the effort. Ivy says yes, that if you’re really good, animals will love you and follow you home. Wow! Ivy and Bean decide they’re going to be the best kids in town. They’re going to be kind, they’re going to be generous and pure of heart and—Wait a second! How did they end up muddy, wet, and in trouble?

Praise for Bound to Be Bad

“Barrows and Blackall deliver another laugh-out-loud Pancake Court romp that derives its humor from the very believable characters and chemistry of the neighborhood children. Any child who’s had to suffer a time-out will relate to this one.” —Kirkus Reviews

From Booklist

Ivy and Bean return in their fifth story in which both girls take their goodness to a new level. Ivy, having heard about St. Francis, thinks it might be nice to be so pure of heart that animals follow her around. She tries to get Bean to be good, and then to be bad, so that she can reform her and the neighborhood bully, Matt, in the process. Though not quite as crisp as the first books in the series, this is still plenty of fun, especially for the duo’s many fans. As always, Blackall’s delightful illustrations add smiles and substance. Grades 1-3. --Ilene Cooper

Annie Barrows writes for both grownups and children. If you’re a grownup, read this paragraph:

Annie Barrows is the co-author, with her aunt Mary Ann Shaffer, of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, published by the Dial Press in 2008. An international best-seller, translated into 38 languages, the novel was adapted into a feature film in 2018. Her best-selling second novel, The Truth According to Us, was published in 2015. Annie lives in Berkeley, California, with her family.

If you’re a kid, read this paragraph:

Wow! Was that boring or what? Annie has written a bunch of books for kids. In fact, she has written NINETEEN books for kids, and all of them are very very good. Mostly, they’re funny too. She has written the award-winning series Ivy + Bean; the also-award-winning Magic Half and its sequel, Magic in the Mix; Nothing, for young adult readers (that means it has bad words in it); a picture book called What John Marco Saw (don’t worry—she didn’t draw the pictures); and The Best of Iggy, which is the first book in a new series about—you guessed it!—a kid named Iggy who does not play the cello, plant flowers by the side of the road, or learn his lesson and become a better person. Still, he’s a pretty great kid.

My six years old was disappointed because the pages were grey and had no colors. Perhaps it was early for him to have it. I decided to hide it for now and try it in a couple of years.

My daughter loves the Ivy and Bean books!

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2012

I got this Ivy and Bean book on Kindle for my daughter. She loves the whole series and has read all of them, even though she's not a big reader most of the time. Getting the books on Kindle has really opened it up for her, as she can read along with the "text to read" function. The story is a lot of fun for girls. She was 10 when we got the first Ivy and Bean for her.

We love Ivy and Bean!

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2009

My 6 y/o daughter and I are absolutely hooked on the "Ivy and Bean" series. Here's why: The kids talk, think and act like real kids. The characters are funny and believable. Ivy and Bean have wonderfully creative ideas and imaginations. Ivy and Bean are likable (I find them lovable) even though they get in trouble all the time with their parents and teachers. Ivy and Bean are unconventional. Ivy and Bean is very well-written and the illustrations are charming and delightful.

my second grader loves these books

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

my second-grader has struggled with reading since kindergarten.

And so we work really hard to find books that can keep her interest in that she wants to read.

I like the way these books are set up.

Each chapter is kind of a mini story kind of a story in itself.

So you can read one or two chapters and it makes sense.

I hope they come out with more these books.

My girl said: I liked it because Ivy and Bean were trying to be good instead of bad so animals follow them.

Entertaining and fun books about naughtiness

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been reading the Ivy and Bean books to my three grand-daughters. They all love them as do grandma and grandpa! The dialogue is brilliant as are the stories - just enough naughtiness to shock and intrigue all of us. The only problem is that the little ones are never satisfied with a few chapters - they want more and more and more!
