Synopsis

Finally! After months of begging their parents for ballet lessons, Ivy and Bean finally get what they want . . . well, not exactly. Much to their surprise, it turns out ballet lessons do not cover karate chops and roundhouse kicks. The girls have no interest in learning how to dance gracefully, but they promised their parents they would finish the entire balletcourse! When it comes time for Ivy and Bean to participate in the ocean-themed class recital, the girls must figure out a way to get out of it without breaking their promises.

About Annie Barrows

Annie Barrows is a middle-aged lady who doesn’t talk very much, which is why none of the kids who hang out in her house noticed that she was writing down everything they said. She’s like a ninja, except she’s never killed anyone. Okay, okay, she’s also the author of the Ivy + Bean books—remember them? They were fun!—and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. All of which were New York Times bestsellers, if you care about that kind of thing. www.anniebarrows.com

Normally, I don't review children's books, but I've made an exception (yes, they do happen). I remember buying a set of Ivy + Bean books for The Girl from Diary of an Eccentric because one of the books had to do with dinosaur fossils and I had read on someone's blog (not sure who) that these books w......more

Ooops. Ivy and Bean have made a terrible mistake. Wanting to be Wilis or Giselle in ballet class, they get stuck being friendly squids. What a bummer! Even more embarrassing! Yes, Ivy and Bean book (#4)Take Care of the Babysitter was good,but I think this is the best now.......more

My niece, Nina, was reading this book and gave it five starts, so I picked it up to read with one of my grade school students. It tells the story of best friends Ivy and Bean and their foray into the world of ballet. They are disappointed when their local ballet group is very different from the swee......more
