PS
A runaway ice cube with dreams of becoming an iceberg and bumping into ships is pursued by a boy (who, disobeying his mother, opens the freezer)--and by various others with reasons of their own. But a whale is waiting, and "he knew a frosty snack when he saw one." This imaginative, silly, heart-stirring romp is buoyed by its detailed illustrations.
