    About this ebook

    Annie Barrows' bestselling chapter book series, Ivy & Bean, is a classroom favorite and has been keeping kids laughing–—and reading—for more than a decade! With more than 5 million copies in print, Ivy & Bean return with a brand-new book for a new generation!

    Ivy & Bean are back . . . and they are funnier than ever!

    Ivy's worried. She's read a lot of books about only children, so she knows that they are sometimes spoiled rotten. They don't share their toys. They never do any work. They scream and cry when they don't get their way. Spoiler alert! Ivy doesn't have any brothers or sisters. That's why she's worried. How can she keep from getting spoiled? She could give away all her clothes, but she'd probably get in trouble. She could give away all her toys, but she likes her toys. There's really only one solution: she needs a baby sister, on the double! Luckily, Ivy and Bean know just where to get one.

      Ivy and Bean One Big Happy Family - Annie Barrows

      IMPORTANT PEOPLE, IMPORTANT GORILLAS

      My Important People, wrote Bean at the top of her paper. Whew! Seventeen letters! Time for a break.

      Bean, said Ms. Aruba-Tate. Do you need help?

      I’m resting, explained Bean.

      Nobody else is resting, Vanessa said. Her table was next-door to Bean’s. She was already drawing pictures of her Important People.

      Thank you, Vanessa, said Ms. Aruba-Tate, in a way that really meant, Stop talking. Then she said Bean in a way that really meant, Get to work.

      Bean sighed and picked up her pencil. My Important People. Okie-dokie, line ’em up. She drew her mom. She drew her mom eating a whole cake by herself. Her mom liked cake.

      Mom, she wrote. Then she drew her dad, with a wooden spoon. He was making more cake for her mom. Dad, she wrote. Bean scrunched her older sister, Nancy, down in a corner. She drew some flies buzzing around her head. Nancy, she wrote.

      Bean looked around the classroom. Everyone was drawing like crazy. Eric was drawing so hard his tongue was hanging out. Marga-Lee had made frames around each of her Important People. Bean wished she’d thought of that.

      She went back to drawing. Grandma. Grandpa. Other Grandpa. Two uncles. Three aunts. Four cousins. One cousin who wasn’t a real cousin, but Bean liked him a lot anyway. He had a pet alligator. Bean put the alligator in there, too. Cool! Now Ivy.

      You should be finishing up, friends, said Ms. Aruba-Tate.

      I haven’t put in my cousins yet! yelled Emma.

      I haven’t even finished my brothers and sisters! yelled Vanessa.

      Everyone scribble-scrabbled as fast as they could. Bean peeked over at Ivy’s paper to see if she had included Bean. She had! Bean peeked some more. Ivy had drawn her mom, her grandma, her aunt, Bean, Abraham Lincoln, Mary Anning, Boudicca, and a gorilla. Wow, thought Bean. Abraham Lincoln! Bean wanted to copycat, but she didn’t. She drew Ms. Aruba-Tate instead. Ms. Aruba-Tate was as good as Abraham Lincoln any day!

      When they were done, Ms. Aruba-Tate pinned their Important People on the art wall. She was decorating for Open House. Open House was when the grown-ups came to school to see what their kids had been doing all year, and Ms. Aruba-Tate said she wanted the classroom to look fantabulous. Everyone helped. Dusit and Drew picked fuzz-balls out of the carpet. Ivy turned all the books the right way on the bookshelf.

      Emma and Marga-Lee swept the floor. Bean blew the extra glitter down the heater vent.
