This book is about Ivy & Bean who are neighbors but never olayed together until one day when Bean was out in her years looking at something, Ivy came over and asked her what she was doing. Bean said I am looking at the sprinklers. Frpm there their friendship blossomed They go on adventures around their neighborhood and much more I won't spoil for you!

I did not like this book enough to give it 5 stars because it was a little to low of a level for me, too easy of a read. I thought the storyline was good but I thought could be a little deeper. But I gave it a shot and I thought was cute, but not my level.

I did not really like this book. It was about two people who became together. It was a short easy read but I didn't like it

Ivy and Bean are two girls who did not mean to like each other, much less be actual friends. Bean is a mischievous seven year old who likes playing tricks on her older sister, Nancy. Ivy is a quiet, neat girl who likes reading books. They are complete opposites, but when a prank leads Bean into trouble, Ivy comes to her rescue and instantaneously seal their friendship. This was a really quick read, I actually read it in one sitting. The two girls misbehave a lot, and I liked how their friendship grew. It was an okay read overall. ~ifeelbookish

A great book about two unlikely friends. This book will make you laugh at all of ivy and bean's crazy adventures. Totally would recommend this book.

If you want an exciting tale about two fabulous girls' friendships, here's your book. Ivy and Bean are the best of friends. They play together and have fun. I think you should read this if you love friendship stories

This book was ok, it was about two girls, bean and ivy. they don't really think they will be good friends, but when Bean has a crisis Ivy helps her, and they find that two different people could be good friends.

When I first started the series it was interesting. It was pretty good but, I never expected them to become friends especially sense Bean is crazy and Ivy is much calmer.

I liked Ivy + Bean, but my sister LOVED it! She read every book in the series. It's a great series for girls like her.

ivy+ bean is one of my favorite fiction
