This entertaining account of the invention of the ice-cream cone begins at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, where ice cream and waffles "came together." But "who came up with the idea first?" Greenstein differentiates between the information she could and couldn't substantiate, offering a lesson on the sometimes rocky road of historical research. The finely lined, sherbet-colored prints enhance the text's playful tone. Bib.
