Ice Boy finds life as an ice cube too mundane and escapes to the outside. He loves the sunny beach...and soon becomes Water Boy, then morphs into Vapor Boy and, later, back into Ice Boy (in the form of hail). In Stein's joyful mixed-media illustrations, Ice Boy's shape mirrors his journey through the water cycle. This droll story will be a fine addition to classroom libraries.
