Ivy+and+Bean

Ivy and Bean by annie barrows and sophie blackall Reviewed by Maya 3/10/12

I recommend this book to people who are bored and if you have nothing else to do. This book is realistic fiction because there is no talking animals and whatever happened in this book is not true. This is another 3rd person book... The author is telling the story. There are quotations for what the people are saying in the book but it's mostly a 3rd person book. I didn't have a favorite character and I didn't have my least favorite character. I thought the people were all the same. Even though Ivy and Bean is known for being friends when they have 2 completely different personalities. There is this girl who is really bored at school until her teacher gives her a world record book, for the world's smallest, weirdest, biggest, tallest,etc things. She and her classmates try to break some of the records in the book. Bean tries many things but she just can't break any records. Ivy, her best friend isn't interested in breaking the record, she just likes reading books about dinosuars and this girl who found fossils from dinosaurs by digging into the ground. The girl who found the fossils was 12. So Bean had an idea, she thought that they could break a fossil record for being the world's youngest paleontologists(people who study fossils). So they run to thier backyard and try to find fossils. If you read this book you will find out if they break the record. cobra page turners
