5.0 out of 5 stars Giselle and Giant Squids - What's not to love!
The best birthday present Georgia received this year was the latest installment of the Ivy & Bean series, Doomed to Dance. I am on a constant quest to find books that are both the right level and interesting enough to hold Georgia's attention. The pickings are slim, my friends. However, there are a couple of good ones, like the Franny K. Stein series, the Max and Maddy Series, and the Akimbo books. But, by far, for Georgia, the winner is Ivy & Bean. We have been waiting for this new release for six months, and were thrilled it arrived before Georgia's birthday.In Doomed to Dance, Ivy and Bean read a book about the ballet, Giselle, and decide they simply must take ballet class. Taking a page from my own playbook, the moms allow them to join, but also insist that they have to stick with it through the entire session. The grim difference between Giselle and a beginning ballet class for 7 year olds quickly becomes obvious and the rest of the book is the story about how they try to get out of their promise. I don't want to give it away, but let's just say that it involves running away and very scary giant squids. You've gotta love any book for a second grader that manages to include both Giselle and giant squids with grace.Aside from Georgia's devotion to them, what I love most about Ivy & Bean is that the characters are believable and charming. While sometimes naughty, there is always a logic and justification for their behavior. In addition, the parents react with appropriate and realistic discipline. By contrast, books like Junie B. Jones and Eloise imply that arbitrary bratty behavior and, even worse, bad grammar, is somehow endearing. It's a relief to find a book both with fun young girl characters and positive relationships.Georgia believes that the best book in a series is always the third one. She says that way the characters are really well developed, but the author is still not out of ideas. Ivy and Bean is the exception, we both agree they just keep getting better and better.- Jessica Wheeler

These short books have cheeky girls and bits of good general knowledge sprinkled in (Doomed to Dance talks about Giselle AND Marine Biology).

5.0 out of 5 stars You shouldn't run away.
I like when they found the coins in the alligator pit. I liked when they started to run away in the dark room because it was exciting.
A great ideal
great books for the young
Our girls loved it
I was a little worried when I first saw the title of the latest Ivy and Bean, as our girls both take ballet lessons, but the story says more about the problems with children's attitudes toward ballet than about the lessons themselves. We all burst out laughing a few times, and had grins on our faces throughout this lovely little book, which lives up to the reputation established by the first ones. I'd definitely recommend it for girls aged 5 to 9 or so. One of the best we've read together this year!
Love Ivy & Bean
