"Introduce independent readers to the award-winning Ivy & Bean series with this boxed set containing the first three books about two spunky second graders." — Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

Meet Ivy and Bean, two friends who never meant to like each other: Ivy and Bean are very different. Bean is loud and wild and goofy. She loves to be involved in games and poke her nose in other people's business. Ivy is quiet and full of ideas. She spends most of her time learning how to be a witch. Each girl thinks the other one is weird. Each girl thinks she could never be friends with the other. But sometimes opposites can become the best of friends because they're opposites!

Ivy & Bean's Secret Treasure Box—which includes the first three books in the series—is a delightful introduction to these spunky characters and includes a secret treasure-hiding box with a cool surprise inside!

Book 1: Ivy & Bean: Both girls were sure they would never like each other, but when Bean finds herself in a pickle, Ivy helps out with a magical spell.
Book 2: Ivy & Bean and the Ghost that Had to Go: When Ivy discovers a ghost in the girls bathroom at school, she needs Bean's help to get rid of it as quickly as possible.
Book 3: Ivy & Bean Break the Fossil Record: The girls set out to prove that they broke a record and are in fact the youngest paleontologists in the world.
• Annie Barrows is the bestselling author of books for both children and adults including the
Ivy & Bean series which has more than 5 million copies in print.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ivy and Bean books
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2012
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    My 6 year old daughter loves these books! The text is very American (terms like "dork" and "goony" are used a lot) but that doesn't take away from her enjoyment of them. She gets a little cheeky glint in her eye when Ivy or Bean are doing something naughty. We read them together so that we can discuss what is right and wrong about Ivy and Bean's behaviour, but my daughter is able to read a lot of the text herself.

    Just a word of caution, the girls in the book do some naughty things, for example in book 1 they throw worms at Bean's big sister Nancy. So I wouldn't recommend these for a child who might be influenced to try some of these things herself! But for a child who can tell the difference between right and wrong, they are a great read - very funny and definitely a page-turner. My daughter keeps wanting to know what they get up to next, and this love of books and reading is invaluable.

    The box set contains 3 reading books and a false one with a secret compartment. Great fun!

    Acheté pour ma fille de 8 ans.
    Elle n'a pas accroché au début, elle trouvait les histoires difficile à comprendre. Puis elle s'est entêtée et les a lu.
    Au final, elle m'a dit qu'elle avait bien aimé, mais qu'elle n'en voulait pas plus parce que les filles ne parlaient pas bien.

    Et en effet, bien que les histoires soient rigolottes, je trouve qu'elles manquent un petit peu de morale. L'une des deux filles est une rebelle, au point que même ma fille ne la supporte plus.
