Ivy and bean are two new girls who don't know eachother, but with one decision something changes. No bestfriends end up being best best friends. Digging up, science, finding fossils end up being the bestest friends ever

i remember being obbbsesed with it when i was in 1 grade but now.... um not so much

A great story about two girls developing a friendship. The series is a great read and I would recommend to young girls. Ivy and Bean get along really well together. I am glad her mom pushed her to be friends.

Bean lives in Pancake Court, and knows all the kids there except one. Ivy. Bean's mom always tells her, "Go play with her. She looks nice", But Bean doesn't ever want to play with her. Whenever Bean goes outside, she always finds Ivy reading big books. Nancy makes her change her mind.Together they can make a very good friendship.

This book was okay. My sister owns the first six books of the Ivy and Bean series. Bean's just moved into her new town. She meets Ivy and discovers something-Ivy's a witch! The two girls have quite a bit of fun together in these books, from pranking Nancy (Bean's older sister) to dispelling ghosts outside of the girl's bathroom at school.

This is a pretty funny book. Ivy is pretending to be a witch and it's so cute.

fun easy read about two girls who didn't like each other at first but grew to be best friends. i havent decided if I will read the other books in the series yet.

Ivy+Bean book 1 is hilarious. The characters in the book make the book even funnier. I love how the book is based and its flow. I also love the main base of the storie. Right when Ivy and Bean see each other they know that they won't be friends. But Bean plays a prank on her older sister, Nancy, and Ivy comes to the rescue. This book will be VERY addictive for all different aged readers.

The moment Bean set eyes on her, she knew they would never be friends. And who exactly is this? The new girl, Ivy. Ivy is calm, quiet, enjoys reading, and plays on her own. Bean, on the other hand, is the exact opposite, and knows that Ivy is probably the most boring person on planet earth. What kind of person prefers reading rather than running around her yard, and isn't boring? Well, that's what Bean seems to think. But a whole new idea of Ivy pops up after Bean's prank for Nancy, her older sister, backfires. Both Bean and Ivy take a new turn at how they look at each other, after Ivy helps Bean escape from trouble. The two sneaky girls bond more in their friendship as they go through a spectacular adventure, but will they become friends? Or will they still stand as enemies? Find out in this amazingly hilarious Annie Barrows book about two friends who never meant to like each other!
