Ivy and Bean Bound to Be Bad

Book 5

Annie Barrows

illustrated by Sophie Blackall

The adventures of Ivy and Bean continue in paperback! In Ivy and Bean Bound to Be Bad, the two girls decide to be so good and kind and pure of thought that wild animals will befriend them. When this doesn’t work they decide that perhaps a little badness can be good.

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
