Bookroo's summary
At the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, a heated debate swirls around the invention of the ice cream cone. Ernst, Arnold, David, and Charles each claim the sweet creation as their own. But only one holds the patent for the first cone-making machine. Dive into this playful picture book to uncover the truth behind the cone's origin and meet the dreamers who shaped history. Will the real inventor stand up, or is the answer as elusive as a melting scoop on a hot summer day?
From the publisher
Colorful etchings and kid-friendly text reveal who really invented the ice-cream cone, even before the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair where five people claim they did so.
