Ivy and Bean What's the Big Idea? (Ivy and Bean Series #7)

by Annie Barrows, Sophie Blackall

Overview

It's the Science Fair, and the second grade is all over it! Some kids are making man-eating robots. Some kids are holding their breath for a very, very long time. Some kids are doing interesting things with vacuum cleaners. The theme, obviously, is global warming. But what should Ivy and Bean do? Something involving explosions? Or ropes? Something with ice cubes? Or maybe...maybe something different.

Editorial Reviews

The cute, adventurous elementary school pair of Ivy and Bean are back again, this time mulling over what seems like an insolvable problem: What will they do for their global warming science project? Brain-stimulating enjoyment.

"Annie Barrows accomplishes the almost impossible task of reflecting the world of second grader, creating the tension and drama of family and friendships in language that can be read easily by child who recently graduated from easy readers to early chapter books. " - Lisa Von Drasek, Children's Librarian, Bank Street College of Education
