Ivy & Bean Day Blog-a-bration Week 6


And the count down to the 1st Annual International Ivy & Bean Day continues.  This week Chronicle Books is giving away a copy of Ivy & Bean Book 6: Doomed to Dance to one lucky winner and a set of mini-note cards to 3 other winners. Click here to check out the Ivy & Bean official page.


Check out the official book trailer from Chronicle:



In Doomed to Dance, Ivy and Bean find out that ballet may not be exactly what they expected.  Check out these other titles that would pair nicely with Doomed to Dance. I wonder if Ivy & Bean had read these books if they would have had a better experience.  They might have but we wouldn't have had as many laughs.


Invitation to Ballet:  A Celebration of Dance and Degas by Carolyn Vaughan; Illustrated by Rachel Isadora - The art of Degas is paired up with information about ballet, ballet positions, and various dances. 


Tallulah's Solo by Marilyn Singer; Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger  - This picture book explores
