“Ice Cream Summer is a cute book, and it's definitely all about ice cream. Every page is filled with quirky, clever ideas about ice cream, from ice cream inventions and ice-cream inspired cartography to ice cream math and ice cream wordsmithing as the main character writes his grandmother all about his ice cream-filled filled summer.”
