Ivy and Bean Boxed Set 2: (Children's Book Collection, Boxed Set of Books for Kids, Box Set of Children's Books) (Books 4-6)

My six-year-old daughter loves to read and has recently started reading chapter books. Once she got over her obsession with the Junie B. Jones series, I managed to get her interested in the Cam Jansen series of books and then I discovered the Ivy and Bean series. My daughter loves the central characters, Bean and her best friend Ivy. The girls are precocious, intelligent, and always up to some adventure (or misadventure, depending on how one looks at it!). These traits appeal to my daughter as she is quite the adventurer herself, and the chapters are relatively short, which makes it easy for her to read independently. The books average about 100-120 pages, and she manages to read up to 40 pages per sitting (around 45 minutes). What I found to be fascinating was that the plot for each story is so well-written and developed that my daughter could not stop once she started reading! I usually sit with her and supervise her reading, helping out with some difficult words, and she gets so involved with the story that she just keeps on reading. This to me is the mark of a good book, one that entices a young reader to keep reading. The language is not overly simplified, on the contrary, there are some challenging words which I help my daughter with (pronunciation and definition, if necessary). The black and white illustrations that appear in each chapter add to the appeal of these books. This boxed set is a value buy since it contains three of the Ivy and Bean books, i.e. Ivy and Bean Take Care of the Babysitter, Ivy and Bean Bound to Be Bad, and Ivy and Bean Doomed to Dance. In addition, there is a bonus in the form of 2 stand-up Ivy and Bean dolls, plus four sheets of removable plastic wardrobe stickers which provide hours of fun for young children. These books are a great way to motivate lower elementary children to read, and I would also recommend the first boxed set which comes with the Ivy and Bean Books 1-3 and a bonus book which conceals a secret journal!

My daughter (almost 7) has been struggling getting back into reading, since being home from school during this pandemic.. especially since her father and I both work full-time in the Hospital. We came across the Ivy and Bean book series, and thought it might be a good way to jump-start her love for reading again.. and boy were we right! She can't put these books down!! She is so in love with these books, that I cannot buy the next set fast enough. Easy to read, packed with kid humor, adventure and fun! Even her little brother (now 5) has been getting in on the fun and excited to start learning how to read himself!!

Great for the grand daughter

These will order for my 10-year-old granddaughter. She’s such a fan of the series.

Grand child really enjoys these books. Good price. Arrived quickly.

I find these book interesting and all so entertaining for young people to read and as well as parents to read to their children.

My daughter bought the 1st book at her school book fair and read it in a day. They are chapter books with a few pictures. I bought her the 1st 3 box sets and she loves them and reads a book in a day or 2. Actually gets her off her iPad willingly- amazing. So happy she found a series she loves. Makes me happy to have a little who loves reading!! Highly recommend this series for 8/9 year olds!! All 3 came in perfect condition in the nice box with a bonus item like the 2nd has paper dolls to dress up:)

My daughter absolutely loves this series! Very cute and relatable for her (she's in 2nd grade, and so are the two main characters in the book). The books have encouraged her to read to herself alone and aloud to me each night when we do our reading. She never wants to end on the chapter when we've reached our required reading time-and so we will go through half the book in a single night because she is enjoying the story so much. She liked Book 4 (Take Care of the Babysitter) so much, she checked it out of her school library and asked her teacher if she could read some of it aloud to her class during "sharing time". We are currently in the middle of Book 6, and I have ordered the next box set (books 7-9) to have ready for when we are done! Great books for the developing reader trying to strengthen their reading skills to those who have strong reading skills, or even to just listen to the book being read aloud. They keep the attention of the child through interesting storytelling and characters!

My daughter absolutely loved this boxed set and finished all three books in just a few days. She giggled her way through the stories, hooked on Ivy and Bean’s funny stories. It’s a joy to see her so engaged with reading.

Good quality books

I highly recommand this book. It's just a masterpiece👍🏿

Le agradaron mucho a hija

何冊か洋書を読み聞かせ用に購入した中で、一番おもしろいと感じた作品です。小学生のお子さんがいるなら是非おすすめです。大人の私でもくくっと思わず笑いが…ビーンがとっても味のあるキャラで大好きになりました。
