About This Book
In Peter Sís's "Ice Cream Summer," a young boy named Joe writes letters to his grandfather, detailing his summer activities. While he assures his grandfather he's diligently studying, his descriptions cleverly reveal that all his "research" revolves around the delicious world of ice cream, from flavors to types and even historical facts. This charming chapter book, suitable for ages 4-11, is a delightful read-aloud that celebrates the joys of summer, family bonds, and the imaginative spirit of childhood. It's a lighthearted story that parents will appreciate for its humor and warmth.
