Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Ivy and Bean Break the Fossil Record delivers another delightful adventure with its spirited protagonists, Ivy and Bean. The story cleverly balances their differing personalities, with Ivy's quiet studiousness contrasting Bean's energetic antics. As they attempt to break world records in humorous ways, their pursuit leads them to explore dinosaur bones, inspired by Mary Anning's achievements. The tale is enhanced by Blackall's witty illustrations, perfectly capturing the characters' dynamic and adding charm to this engaging story about friendship, ambition, and perseverance.
