Ivy + Bean: One Big Happy Family

123 pp. | Chronicle | August, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4521-6400-7 $14.99
(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Sophie Blackall. Only-child Ivy takes to heart a classmate's assertion that children like her are usually spoiled. She tries many corrective measures, but ultimately best friend Bean helps Ivy see she's unselfish and thoughtful--the opposite of spoiled. The earnest, emotionally mature second graders' imaginative and somewhat rash problem-solving tactics provide energetic plot details and laugh-worthy gags. Black-and-white spot art captures and builds on the characters' personalities and this eleventh installment's humor.
