Ivy and Bean Take Care of the Babysitter

Book 4

Annie Barrows

illustrated by Sophie Blackall

The adventures of Ivy and Bean continue in the latest installment from series creators Annie Barrows and Sophie Blackall. In Ivy and Bean Take Care of the Babysitter, the two girls hatch a plan to prove that Bean’s big sister is the world’s worst babysitter. Of course plans go awry, but fun ensues!

A round of applause for Ivy and Bean:

“The deliciousness is in the details here, with both girls drawn distinctly and with flair.” —Booklist, starred review

“Ivy and Bean are irresistible.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“...illustrations deftly capture the girls’ personalities and the tale’s humor .... Barrows’s narrative brims with sprightly dialogue.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
