The Ezra Jack Keats Award-winning creator of Brick by Brick brings to delicious life the anxiety and elation involved in waiting in line to get ice cream-now available in board book.
As far as this ice-cream-loving kid is concerned, every meal should include ice cream. In any form, in every flavor, he loves it all. But what he doesn't love is seeing other people with ice cream while he's still waiting in line for his. That's when he can get his mad, "no-ice-cream-yet, waiting-in-a-long-line face"-until he finally gets his cone, and his mad face melts into something sweet.
Heidi Woodward Sheffield gently explores a range of emotions as they relate to this delicious, everyday experience.
Ice cream elicits an impressive repertoire of expressions from this book's narrator, a self-named 'ice cream kid.' . . . Sheffield employs photographs-most evocatively of the coveted ice cream scoops-digital painting, and subtly mottled collage in this amiable meditation on the joys of a rich emotional life starring a funny, self-aware protagonist who wears their ice-cream-loving heart on their sleeve. --Publishers Weekly
Now here's a young man who knows his ice cream. . . . The narrator for this tasty outing is an appealing Everykid with a mischievous, anticipatory smile stretched across his expressive brown face, and his keen observations of the many ways to enjoy a cone (from dribblers to ice cream-bearded babies) ring true. Sheffield's collage artwork is especially evocative in its consistent contrast between grainy cut paper figures and backdrops mixed with photographs of the ice cream itself-smooth, glossy, and technicolor-bright.
