Ivy & Bean by Annie Barrows

1.0

I had to stop reading this series to my 6yo. The characters were mean to each other including some unchecked bullying and physical harm dressed up as funny. The girls have a bad attitude and make what I'd call bad choices that did not get their due in the end, so no real lessons were learned. I didn't like the language nor the way the sisters got along and treat each other. Not at all what I want to provide as valuable literature for my children. The fossil one was the best of the lot. The dance and "being bad" ones were my least favorite. We didn't get past book 6. Unfortunately, my 6yo loved it and there were lots of tears when I said I wouldn't read it anymore.
