Publisher Description

Annie Barrows' delightful Ivy and Bean series is packed with mischief, fun and heart. Young listeners love the two girls' sense of independence and adventure. After taking on ghosts and bad babysitters, what else is there for this dynamic duo to overcome? Well, this time out, they are going to try to be as good as possible-so good that even woodland creatures will just walk right up to them and be their friends. And when that doesn't work, these best buds discover that being bad once in a while isn't so bad at all.

"I had never heard of this series but I have to say that I think it is precious. The Ivy and Bean books are small in size, chapter books for younger readers, include some pictures and are fun while maintaining realism. I think 2-5 grade girls would have fun reading the Ivy and Bean series. I found the fifth book so it would have been nice to have already read the previous four but nonetheless I was entertained by "Bound to be Bad." Bean is sort of the "bad" girl and Ivy is known to always be good and nice. In book #5 both girls decide to be really good, the best kids in town even. Throughout the book various events cause each girl to act good, bad or regular. Its always changing! I like how this book contains realism and adventure. I think that is what every kid needs!"

    " This is a funny little story about trying to be good and trying to be bad. I loved the dichotomy of choosing to be bad rather than acting bad because you were mad. I think a lot of kids will identify with this one. "
