Ivy and Bean Super special Collection (Books 1-8) (Ivy Bean) Hardcover – Box set, November 22, 2011

I started reading these books to my 5 year old and she fell in love with the characters and the stories so much that all her other favorites had to take a little vacation from being read until we got through all 8 books. Ivy and Bean, who are neighbors, made her want to go meet the kids in our neighborhood.When we were done, she immediately asked if she could have book 9 for her next birthday. I felt bad that I had to tell her there was no book 9...yet.Interesting stories = desire to read more stories.

My 8 year old loves this series. She is in 2nd grade and can devour one of these is one night. I don't have to beg her to read when she's got an Ivy and Bean book. This set is a great price for hard back books. It is missing the last 2 books in the series.The stories are really cute and appropriate, but Bean does have a little attitude so you may want to skim through it before letting your child read it.Recommend for girls 7-9

These books are fairly easy read chapter books full of action, humor, safe mischief of two little girls. Young girls in second and third grade easily identify with the main characters. I gave these as a gift and the series was read quickly by a reluctant reader.

I purchased this set of books to read with a 7 year-old boy. He loved the "Ramona" books by Beverly Cleary, so I thought I'd take a chance on Ivy & Bean. He LOVES them! He laughs out load while we read them together and can relate well to Bean because he has an 11 year-old sibling as well and they love to torture each other. What a fun set of books for kids and adults to read aloud together!!!

This book set with eight of the first "Ivy and Bean" books was one of the best Christmaspresents we gave to our six-year-old grandaughter. She can read them all by herself. She reads a chapter every night out loud to her parents before bed; and, sometimes, she just goes up to her room to read all alone. I will purchase the rest of the books; but, I won't get as great a buy as this set was because each book cost about $5.99 each. I like to encourage reading because it really is the foundation of education! I'm so glad I read about these books on the Amazon site reviews---I only hope I can get some books as interesting when she finishes reading the current "Ivy and Bean" books.

The product was as described and arrived right on time.

my granddaughter loved these on her birthday!! she is an avid fan of ivy and bean. she was always dissapointed in not being able to find them at our library.Being hardcover they are going to be around a long time. I wish that they would come out with the 1-10 set though. I had to order volume 9 and 10 seperately.

My soon to be 6 year old love these books.
