Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 2–3—Ivy and Bean, "BFFs," are back in a new adventure. Bean is upset when her parents decide that Nancy, her 11-year-old sister, will be her babysitter for the afternoon, so she flags down Ivy with a T-shirt with SOS on it from her bedroom window. Together they find a way to get into the attic without Nancy finding out, but get locked in. All ends well with Ivy and Bean blackmailing Nancy to keep quiet about her trying their mother's makeup. Bean is a typical little sister with a big imagination. The story line and antics of the characters resemble Sara Pennypacker's "Clementine" series (Hyperion). The frequent black-and-white Chinese ink illustrations capture the mood and carefree attitude of the story well. Early chapter-book readers will enjoy this installment in this lighthearted series.—Krista Tokarz, Cuyahoga County Public Library, OH

Product Description
The adventures of Ivy and Bean continue in the latest installment from series creators Annie Barrows and Sophie Blackall. In Ivy and Bean Take Care of the Babysitter, the two girls hatch a plan to prove that Bean's big sister is the world's worst babysitter. Of course plans go awry, but fun ensues!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Friendship Lessons, June 9, 2008
By StacyBP "1L8Mom" (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews
My daughter loves all the Ivy & Bean stories. These are great characters. They teach an important lesson about friendship and how very different people can still be the best of friends.

The book came on time in good condition. My daughter loves Ivy and Bean. Since these books come in lots of packaging, make sure it isn't included in some book sets.
