Ivy and Bean Make the Rules (Ivy & Bean #9)
Bean's older sister, Nancy, is going to Girl Power 4-Ever Camp, where she will do Crafts and Music and First Aid and other secret things that Bean will never know about because girls have to be eleven to go to Girl Power 4-Ever Camp. Bean doesn't care. She doesn't want to go to camp. She wouldn't go even if they begged her. So ha. So ha ha. So-wait a second Bean and Ivy ca...more

If Goodreads allowed for 1/2 stars, this one would have gotten 3 1/2 stars. This book ties with Book 3 (Ivy + Bean Break the Fossil Record) as my favorite of the series so far. (We have only Books 6 and 7 left to read.)
Bean isn't old enough to attend the week-long girls camp that Nancy is going to, so she and Ivy decide to make their own camp. The two girls show initiative, creativity, and leadership!

Ivy and Bean fans can rejoice at the new title in the series, Ivy + Bean Make the Rules.
Bean thinks it’s not fair that her sister Nancy gets to go to Girl Power 4-Ever summer camp while she is only old enough to sign up for Puppet Fun! At seven, she’s not a baby anymore, and she wishes others would realize that too.
But Bean doesn’t want to just stay home moping around while Nancy has fun all day, so she’s excited when her mom says she’s old enough to walk to the park with Ivy. That’s when the fu...more

Ivy + Bean is a series for young grade-schoolers that I just cannot resist following, even now that Natalya has “outgrown” them. And yet, who was that blue-haired young lady giggling from behind a book and coming up to me to set it down with a satisfied sigh? “Oh, mom, the zombie-part was awesome. And the Komodo-catcher…; and the…” I love Ivy + Bean.*

When Bean's older sister Nancy heads off to a female empowerment day camp, Bean wishes she could do the same. Her best friend Ivy convinces her that they don't need to wait until they're old enough for the camp; instead, they will be in charge of their own camp at the park. While things start off very slowly, by the time the book finishes, the two have attracted many other children and have hunted Komodo dragons, led a tap dancing troupe, bandaged themselves and wandered about the park as zombie...more
4.5/5 stars
4/5 stars from me
5/5 from my 7 year old niece.
My niece enjoys Ivy and Bean. I've read a number of the books from the series with her.
Ivy and Bean are fun kids. And their adventures are always fun to read about.
In this story Bean's older sister Nancy (who is also very fun to read about) goes to camp. So Ivy and Bean make their own camp.
It was a cute read. And if you like Ivy and Bean books then you'll enjoy this one too.

i loved it. nancy the big sister of bean was going to camp. but bean wanted to go camp too but the camp was for older kids. so she made her own camp with ivy. camp flaming arrow. she had a piece of paper that said what they did at the camp of nancy's, so they did the same thing at their camp. their camp became very popular. too little kids who they met in the park, and kids from their school went to the camp. i want to go their camp!
This is the perfect book for second and third grade girls. Ivy and Bean create their own fun, crazy summer camp, and nearby kids randomly join in. No adult structure, just kids playing outside together, running around, making tents out of blankets, pretending to be zombies or Komodo dragons. A great choice for summer reading, to inspire a child's own creative fun.
This was a fun little romp. The story is about Bean being to young to attend the girls day camp with Nancy. Ivy and Bean come up with a plan and create their own fun filled day camp. I was impressed that Nancy gave the girls kudos for a job well done. It showed that big sisters can appreciate younger sisters.
Another fantastic book from the Ivy and Bean Collection! Ivy and Bean are not old enough to get into camp "Girl Power 4-Ever!" and they are too old and uninterested in attending "Camp Puppet Fun." Instead they create their own camp, appointing themselves camp counselors. A super fun read that kids off all ages can read and giggle over.
I laughed at things on this book my kids didn't 't get, but they loved it too. Make your own summer camp is a hilarious premise. This story could have been longer and my kids would have stayed with it, but I guess making it short is good for young readers. Keep 'em coming Annie Barrows!
I love the Ivy and Bean series. In this installment Bean's sister, Nancy, is headed to a girls' camp. Bean and Ivy decide to create their own camp modeled after Nancy's. What follows is a camp only Ivy and Bean could have dreamed up.
This is a creative series for beginning chapter book readers. I enjoyed each book but think I would have liked them better if I hadn't read six books at once but maybe read one a month.
Ivy and Bean start their own Summer Camp. And for once, things don't go wrong for them. Just, lots of fun for everyone...including the reader.
I think this is my favorite Ivy & Bean one yet. Link to my review:

i love how the author always starts with an interesting plan to annoy nancy and then she never gets in trouble but nancy does lol
Ninth of the popular series.
Bean's sister goes to a day camp. Bean and Ivy decide to make their own camp and end up with several kids.

Cute creative. More addicting and endearing than Junie B. the girls are smart and the author "gets" kids.
This reminds me a little of Haywood's Betsy series. Would have enjoyed this in early elementary school.
i like it when they make their own camp. they are very creative.
Camp Flaming Arrow was the best part - so many people came!
