Customer Reviews

the process revealed--yum!

Elisha Cooper's artwork is delightful--reminiscent of James Stevenson's sparse illustrations. Yet they evoke so much in their simplicity. This is a fun tale of how ice cream comes about, where it goes, how it's processed, and how it comes full circle back to the farm and cows again. Cooper adds some fun humor to his illustrations, and the tale is simply told. A great nonfiction book.

Delicious.....

"It starts with a cow." So begins Elisha Cooper's entertaining and inventive picture book, Ice Cream. From the cows grazing on grass in the pasture, to the yummy final product being delivered to stores, Mr Cooper details each fascinating step in the creation of everyone's favorite treat. His engaging text, that often winds its way creatively around the page, is informative and filled with simple, straightforward explanations, marvelous machine sound effects, and subtle humor, and is enhanced by charming pencil and watercolor artwork. Perfect for kids 7-10, or for reading aloud to younger children, Ice Cream is non-fiction at its very best, and a delicious little masterpiece you don't want to miss.
