Bean's day is going downhill, and it's only nine in the morning. Is it her fault she licked the syrup off her plate? Is it her fault Nancy's yarn got used up? Is it her fault that her mom can't fix her computer? Yes. But Bean wonders if being good is really worth the effort. Ivy says yes. Ivy's found a great reason to be good : If you're really, really good, animals will love you and follow you home. Wow! Ivy and Bean decide they're going to be the best kids in town. They're going to be nice, they're going to be sweet, they're going to be kind and generous and pure of heart and -- wait a second! How did they end up muddy, wet, and in trouble???? -- Provided by the publisher.
