Ivy + Bean, the Musical
“Chaotic fun.” — San Francisco Chronicle
»Download Poster
Pancake Court is no ordinary cul-de-sac! Start with two completely opposite 8-year olds: Ivy, the quiet reader who loves magic and wants to be a witch, and Bean, the outgoing, rambunctious and often devious counterpart who has never been shy. Although it was not the plan, the two reluctantly become friends, and once the fun begins, there’s no turning back. Ivy and Bean weave their way through a series of extraordinary adventures and get into plenty of mischief. Somehow, they navigate every twist and turn, frequently with laughter and always with trust in each other. Join this delightful pair as they learn many valuable lessons about the importance of family, friends, loyalty and love in their often madcap world.
Ivy + Bean books by Annie Barrows, illustrated by Sophie Blackall, are available at Chronicle Books, major bookstores and online retailers.
