Love for the Internationally Bestselling Series

"[Ivy and Bean is] responsible for making my six year old daughter fall in love with reading! It is a treasure for kids and moms and dads and grandparents. My daughter loves Ivy and Bean and so do I and so does my 82 year-old mom, so thank you, thank you, thank you."

—Carrie, San Mateo, CA

—Katie, Portland, OR

"I spent yesterday's lunch hour outside in the sun with Ivy and Bean and I finished feeling all warm and happy—both from the sun and from these delightful girls."

—Adam, North Carolina

"I loved this book. The characters are so much more developed than in most easy readers."

ILLUSTRATOR—Sophie Blackall

Annie Barrows started writing books when she was nine, but they never turned out the way she wanted, so she gave up on writing for twenty-five years. She's written a bunch of books for grown-ups, but Ivy and Bean is her first series for kids. Annie lives in Berkeley, California with her husband and two daughters. One daughter is like Ivy and the other is like Bean.
