Bean’s ideas will appeal to Ivy and Bean fans. The book follows Ivy and Bean creating a sibling for Ivy, while taking a great deal of creative licence. Bullying in one of its forms is lightly depicted here. When a classmate who has several siblings says that only children are generally spoilt, Ivy takes this to heart. Ivy draws her adult family members, Bean and a whole lot of historical figures. Bean draws her family, a cousin’s pet alligator, her teacher and Ivy. As expected, Ivy’s and Bean’s ideas are always more lateral than literal. Their teacher asks the class to draw their important people.
Reviewed by a LitPick student book reviewer, Age 12 This book is best suited for younger children and reluctant readers. Of course, if you haven’t yet, I would definitely recommend doing so! No matter what, this book is fabulous and there are no confusing references to other books in the series, so don’t worry if you haven’t read the others yet. This book is such an amazing story, and it makes me happy to see Annie Barrows has not lost her special touch and that Sophie Blackall is still making beautiful illustrations.Īnother thing I love about this book is that you can read it as either a standalone book or an installation of the series. I loved reading once more about all the crazy hijinks Bean and Ivy got up to in this book. Ivy and Bean: One Big Happy Family retains its beautiful, simple charm and hilarity. I thought it would be interesting to review a book written for younger children as a twelve-year-old girl in middle school! I was not disappointed by this book at all. When I saw this new book on LitPick, I immediately remembered how much I loved this series as a child. Ivy and Bean was one of the first chapter books I ever read and was a big part of my childhood and is one of the reasons I love reading so much today. And when Ivy decides that she’s going to have to get a sibling, no matter what, that’s when the real trouble begins… Unfortunately, not many of their plans work out as they hope. With the help of Bean, she decides to try out several crazy plans to show that she is a perfectly fine, nice child. Ivy doesn’t have any siblings, and she’s determined to prove to Vanessa, Bean, the entire classroom, and to herself that she is NOT spoiled. In the eleventh wonderful installment of Ivy and Bean, Ivy’s classmate, Vanessa, says that almost all only children are spoiled.
