Customer Reviews

Love the Jellybeans books!

My kids love these Jellybean books! One of the things that seems to appeal to them the most is the difference in the characters and how that's a good thing (rather than bad, which is how children normally see differences). They both identify with different characters and like it that way. They actually sit down and read the books together - going back and forth between the "Big Dance" and the "Big Book Bonanza" stories. They both also LOVE the artwork - including all the jellybeans on the cover that are embossed and glittery.

Sooo Cute!

This book is a fun, sweet story with wonderful illustrations. The "Jellybeans" are a delightful group of friends!

A Big Book Bonanza is RIGHT

Nate Evans and co-author Laura Numeroff have done it for the second time! "The Jellybeans and the Big Book Bonanza," with, again, Lynn Munsinger's sensitive and charming illustrations. If you've read the first one, "The Jellybeans and the Big Dance," you'll find this one equally delightful. This time, they're heading for the library! Their teacher has assigned the class homework: go to the library; read a book on a well-loved subject; then, write a book report. Anna, the reading Jellybean, is so excited to have her friends, slightly dubious, with her when they visit the library. They meet Ms. Beasley-Buzzer, the friendly and helpful Librarian. Ms. B-B quickly takes each Jellybean in hand and, Emily, Bitsy and Nicole, surprised, immediately find books to their liking. Anna, the avid reader, however, has difficulty. Again, Ms. B-B comes to the rescue and Anna also finds just the right book. I won't give any more of this delightful plot away, but back in the classroom, Anna does meet an unexpected challenge and, of course, the other Jellybeans help her to solve it. I have read this book now to a number of young and restless children, and they have all asked me to read it again. Enough said!
