Ivy and Bean

Ivy and Bean is a children's book series written by American author Annie Barrows, illustrated by Sophie Blackall and published by Chronicle Books.

In the stories, Ivy (a quiet, intellectual child) and Bean (a rambunctious child) become fast friends despite their differences and their initial reluctance to like each other – "two friends who never meant to like each other", as the tagline for the series goes. They are both 7-year-old girls who live on a cul-de-sac in a suburban environment on Pancake Court, in an unnamed town. In each book they get into considerable mischief, and have wild adventures with the other characters in the neighborhood.

The books feature illustrations, but are not picture books; the reading level is suitable for middle grade school readers. As of 2017, there are ten volumes in the series.

The books in the series are:

In October 2016, the Ivy & Bean Facebook page announced that Book 11 is coming in Spring 2018.
