Meet Ivy and Bean, two friends who never meant to like each other.

Ivy and Bean are always up to something. Whether it's playing tricks on the babysitter, doing good deeds that turn bad, or scheming to get out of ballet class, their adventures are always hilarious and filled with surprises!

Now you can reenact Ivy and Bean's escapades - and create new ones - with the Ivy and Bean stand-up dolls and lots of outfits and accessories included in this deluxe boxed set.

4. Ivy and Bean Take Care of the Babysitter - What’s the worst babysitter you can imagine? Okay, now multiply by a million.  Bean’s just found out that Nancy is babysitting for the afternoon. After Ivy rescues her from prison, the two girls turn tragedy into opportunity.

5. Ivy and Bean Bound to be Bad - Ivy has decided to become good. Extra-super-duperly good. Bean figures that’s a big waste of time - until Ivy explains that if you’re really good, animals and birds follow you around. Wow! Animals and birds! Bean’s going to be good, too! They’re going to be nice; they’re going to be sweet; they’re going to be kind and generous and - Wait a second! How did they end up muddy, wet, and in trouble?

6. Ivy and Bean Doomed to Dance - Ooops. Ivy and Bean have made a terrible mistake. They thought that ballet meant leaping, kicking, and cool costumes. Instead, it means they're going to have to be The Two Friendly Squids in a ballet the teacher made up. How embarrassing. As disaster looms, the girls come up with a great escape plan. It's an easy plan, a simple plan, a beautiful plan. It only involves a field trip, a couple of sharks, and some weird animals that glow in the dark.

About the author and illustrator

Annie Barrows is an American author. She has degree in Medieval History and an MFA in Creative Writing. Unable to find a job in the middle ages, she decided upon a career as an editor, eventually landing at Chronicle Books in San Francisco, where she was in charge of "all the books that nobody in their right mind would publish." Annie has written books for grown-ups about such diverse subjects as fortune-telling (she can read palms!), urban legends (there are no alligators in the sewer!), and opera (she knows what they're singing about!). In 2003, Annie grew weary of grown-ups, and began to write for kids, which she found to be way more fun. Ivy and Bean was Annie's first book for children and there are now 8 in the series. Annie and her aunt, Mary Ann Shaffer wrote The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. She lives in Northern California with her husband and two daughters.

Sophie Blackall is an Australian illustrator whose previous books include Ruby's Wish and Meet Wild Boars. She also illustrates the Ivy & Bean series. Sophie lives in Brooklyn, New York
