REVIEW: HAPPY NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH!

​Now THIS is a month to celebrate! I love ice cream, so I’m all for celebrating this holiday by eating a lot of it. And what goes better with ice cream than a picture book about two very famous people in the world of ice cream:

​TITLE:           THE SWEETEST SCOOP: BEN & JERRY’S ICE CREAM REVOLUTION
AUTHOR:     Lisa Robinson
ILLUSTRATOR: Stacy Innerst
PUBLISHER: Abrams Kids/2022
OPENING LINES: 
Close your eyes and imagine holding an ice cream cone.
Now take a lick…
What does it taste like?
Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry?
A cool swim on a hot summer day?
What about Wavy Gravy, Truffle Kerfuffle, or Chubby Hubby? 
What’s the scoop on those wacky flavors? 
Let’s find out…

Mmmm—ice cream! What a brilliant topic for a picture book! I can’t think of a much better one. This is a fun, informative, nonfiction book about the famous creators of the wacky-flavor ice cream empire known as Ben & Jerry’s. Readers will love learning how Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield came together to create a legendary and delicious empire, and they’ll appreciate how the founders of Ben & Jerry’s used teamwork, determination, and learned from their failures to become a success. Stacy Innerst’s bright, whimsical illustrations pair with Lisa Robinson’s fun and informative text as perfectly as chocolate chips pair with cookie dough. I hope you love THE SWEETEST SCOOP as much as a scoop of Half Baked or Cherry Garcia!
