Ivy and Bean Take Care of the Babysitter

This book is by Annie Barrows and Sophie Blackall and is the authors of the other Ivy and Bean books. The main characters in this book are Ivy and Bean, they are girls that are 7 or 8 and are very mischievous. Ivy likes to read books but is also mysterious  and Bean is a noddy and hates her older sister Nancy who is 10. The setting of this book is in Pancake Court where Ivy and Bean live, and it also takes place in Beans house.

Bean has a big problem, her old babysitter is sick and Nancy went up for the job to be her babysitter because she was going to get paid for it. What was Bean going to do in her house when she couldn’t go outside and play in the mud at Sophie W’s house. Bean tries to get Ivy to come into her house to play even though Ivy was allowed to come over Bean thought it would be more fun. Bean wanted to go to the crawl space ( the crawl space is what Beans family calls their attic ) really badly and when her parents are there she is not allowed to so she tries to sneak up into her attic. Nancy also wanted to do something while her parents were gone too, she wanted to put on makeup since a lot of her friends at her school wear makeup but while Nancy was putting on makeup Ivy and Bean went up to the crawl space. “Ivy looked up, up the shelves of sheets and towels to a square wooden door set in the closet ceiling.

This was not my favorite book and I think it was not that interesting compared to the other books in the series. I would recommend this book to 6 – 10 years old. I think this might be a good book to read with your family. This book can also be read by yourself and if you want to read a book about two girls who have lots of fun ideas I think this book is for you. I rate this book three stars out of five *** stars. I think kids might like this book so I hope this book reveiw might tell you that you want to read this book!
