The Scoop on Ice Cream! by Bonnie Williams -- ADVISABLE

Williams, Bonnie The Scoop on Ice Cream! Illustrated by Scott Burroughs. Simon Spotlight, 2014. $3.99. Content: G.

This advanced early reader tells the history of ice cream, then goes on to describe modern-day takes on the treat, including unusual flavors found around the world. Finally, Williams describes the scientific reactions that make ice cream possible in the first place.

This is a fun, informative take on a topic that will likely appeal to many children. While it would work well in a classroom or library, especially in a set of leveled readers or nonfiction titles, it would also be fun at a summer camp or after-school program -- accompanied, of course, by actual ice cream churning.
