Ivy and Bean by Annie Barrows

2.0

I really didn't like this one too well and my daughter didn't either. I grabbed it cause I thought it sounded like a cute story and it was in my daughter's reading level plus the cover was kinda cute. I just thought that she'd really like it- Well, I reckon that I was wrong. We read it together and it wasn't grabbing her attention. It doesn't bother me that it contained witchcraft but I don't necessarily think that it's really appropriate for a 7 yr old to be reading. I don't really know if I will continue to read this with my daughter or just find a different series. After we were finished reading this, she didn't have anything to say about it. Normally she will say something to the fact of "That was really good, Mommy!" and then ramble on about the story, but this time when it was over, I got nothing. If it isn't gonna get my daughter's attention and get her talking about what happened in the story, then I'm guessing this book just wasn't for us.
