This accessible story will appeal to children ready for short chapter books and will work equally well read aloud. Depicting a diverse classroom of distinctive students, Blackwell's signature black-and-white illustrations break up the text and bring Barrows' characters to life. Though this is the 12th in the series, it stands on its own. . . This funny, engaging story is an excellent addition to all libraries, and a must for those stocking the series."-<b><i>School Library Journal</i></b><br><br>Grounded in everyday details of primary-grade children's experiences, Barrows' amusing narrative is just right for the audience. Blackall's expressive black-and-white illustrations brighten every double-page spread while clarifying terms such as divining rod. The twelfth volume in the dependable Ivy and Bean series delivers an engaging story for kids moving up to chapter books.-<b><i>Booklist </i></b><br><br>The adventures that began with "Ivy and Bean" arrive at a rumbustious conclusion with <i>Ivy Bean Get to Work!</i>. Written by Annie Barrows and illustrated by Sophie Blackall, the 12 books in this series for readers ages 6-10 sparkle with humor and smart observations. . . . There's a saying that you can't make old friends, but in the case of children's books it's not true. Returning to characters you've met once, it feels as though you've known them forever. Nice, isn't it?"-<b><i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b><br><br>"Second-grade besties and neighbors Ivy and Bean get their last hurrah in the final installment of this 12-book series that captivates beginning readers with the girls' mischievous antics. In true Ivy and Bean fashion, their last adventure together-searching for buried treasure-starts off on the wrong foot but ends spectacularly. Young fans come away with food for thought about what really makes something highly coveted. Dare we say these stories qualify?"-<b><i>Parents Magazine</i></b><br><br>"Many of the children who read the first Ivy + Bean book as second graders in 2006 are now, unbelievably, college graduates. But the series has remained fresh and relevant, offering a perfect first dip into chapter books for a whole new generation of readers. Like the others in the series, this effort combines Barrows' nicely developed characters and her hilarious, easy-to-read take on juvenile adventures with Blackall's spot-on Chinese ink illustrations on every spread, with purely delightful results. . . .
