Annie Barrows has written many books for adults, but Ivy and Bean is her first series for kids. 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 lives in New York.
"Annie Barrows accomplishes the almost impossible task of
reflecting the world of second graders, creating the tension and
drama of family and friendships in language that can be read easily
by children who recently graduated from easy readers to early
chapter books. " -Lisa Von Drasek, Children's Librarian, Bank
Street College of Education
Reader, Parent Librarian Love for Ivy Bean Chapter Books
"These books are fabulous! They remind me of Ramona books when I
was a kid. We read them to our 5 year old and she loves them. They
illustrate normal kid thinking processes and attitudes."
"I think my daughter loves this series because it appeals to her
curious and adventurous and imaginative spirit. While my daughter
loves dolls and princesses, she is strong and curious and loves to
get dirty-this book series appeals to her spirit."
