Ivy and Bean #5: Bound to Be Bad | 
“You can do whatever you want if you don't care what people think.“
Ivy and Bean presents a fun and imaginative take on childhood adventures, focusing on themes of friendship, curiosity, and exploration. While it captures the essence of play and creativity, it may not fully represent the complexities and challenges of today's students.
pickThe main character of the series, Bean, is a restless, quirky second grader who likes doing things in her own way. Ivy, a quiet bookworm, seems the opposite of Bean, but she understands her best friend better than anybody else.
Awesome book! Great for children learning to read while still highlighting an important topic that is important in our society. Can we used in upper grades, not just for lower grade levels!

panSorry to be a hater but these books are terrible. I don't believe in always moralizing to children but these kids are assholes and like...the story isn't even fun. Very bummed that my five year old niece is in love with the series and I will continue reading them until I go home next week. Luckily, she still wants to read picture books with me too.
Sidenote: my sister's three kids love rats so princesses and rats it always is. 🐀
