Ice Cream Summer

(2) K-3 Joe's brief letter to his grandfather details his "delicious" summer. Summery-hued illustrations and incorporated text reveal that Joe's activities (reading, writing, practicing math) each revolve around ice cream: e.g., when Joe reads about ancient China, the accompanying picture depicts how the first ice cream was made there two-thousand years ago. A picture-book treat that teaches some history behind this favorite dessert. Bib.
