Sis, Peter. |

Joe is having a finger-licking good
summer. He is learning history, studying math, and writing
a book. Joe is writing a letter to his Grandpa to tell him
all about it. What Joe doesn’t tell his Grandpa, however,
is that everything he is doing has to do with delicious
ice cream. He is adding and subtracting lots and lots of
ice cream cones. He is learning the history of the
invention of vanilla ice cream and when ice cream first
came to the United States. He is writing an alphabet book
with scrumptious ice cream in every picture. If you want
to learn as much as Joe did about delectable ice cream,
you need to read this book. See if you can find all the
hidden pictures of ice cream in the illustrations Peter
Sis, the illustrator, has created. Peter Sis’ favorite
flavor of ice cream is mango. What’s yours? (Pennsylvania Young
