Are you looking your next feel-good friendship book series? Are you six years old (or older)? Do you LOVE adventure? Then let us introduce you to the dynamic (and ultra naughty) duo, Ivy and Bean!
Whether they enjoy reading big books quietly like Ivy, or love shouting and running like Bean, every child will find a friend for life in this heartwarming and super funny book series! With over 8 million copies sold, a musical and now a Netflix original film.
Ivy and Bean could not be more different. There was no doubt they'd never be friends. But when Bean plays a joke on her sister, Nancy, and has to quickly hide, Ivy comes to the rescue, and the rest is history. Join these two very different yet equally fun characters as they tackle ghosts needing the toilet, fossil hunting, global warming and, yes, even whining babies. WAAAA!
From beloved children's book author Annie Barrows and illustrator Sophie Blackall, The Ivy & Bean collection has been delighting preschool, primary and children of all ages for nearly two decades. With a central message of friendship, empathy, and understanding, each book follows Ivy and Bean on their various adventures through adolescent life.
