Fun topic for reading and discussion!

This is a Rhyme Time Readers book from Scholastic. And as that category suggests, Ice Cream Everywhere! is a rhyming book about ice cream. It follows an ABAB rhyming sequence. Ice cream is always fun (unless you're allergic) so my son picked this one up without hesitation. Because it is a rhyming book, it focuses on repetitive words and phonetic principles. Good luck reading it without wanting ice cream when you're finished.

Ice Cream Everwhere! is basically a poem about ice cream presented in book style. I bet your child will be able to recognize ice cream out in the wild after finishing this book. I give Ice Cream Everywhere! 4 Stars. Have you or your child read Ice Cream Everywhere!? What did you think? Let me know!

I grew up enjoying this story as a child and now it’s fun to read to little people. Short and to the point! Fun pictures through out!

This book was about ice cream being everywhere. They said that it was everywhere. They said, "Ice cream in a cone ice cream all alone" and all that other stuff. And they put it on her hair and everywhere. They put it everywhere. I think my favorite character was the girl who when the book said, "Ice cream all fixed up" it was the girl who was beside it.
I would recommend this book.
