An ice cube in search of adventure stars in a comical (and very cool)
tale of transformation from Caldecott Honoree David Ezra Stein.
Ice Boy has a normal life. He likes goofing around with his siblings
("Don't lick your brother!"). He listens when his parents tell him that
being chosen to cool someone's drink or be a cold compress is the best
thing that can happen to an ice cube. But Ice Boy wants more. So even
though his parents tell him never to go outside, and even though his
doctor tells him never to go in the sun, Ice Boy decides to head for the
beach, where he rolls right into the water ("Best day ever!"). But
suddenly his edges begin to blur. . . . From the creator of the
best-selling Interrupting Chicken comes an offbeat and funny story of
daring to venture into the unknown, whatever form it may take.
