The Ezra Jack Keats Award-winning creator of Brick by Brick brings
to delicious life the anxiety and elation involved in waiting in line to
get ice cream.
As far as this ice-cream-loving kid is concerned, every meal should
include ice cream. In any form, in every flavor, he loves it all. But
what he doesn't love is seeing other people with ice cream . . .
while he's still waiting in line for his. That's when he can get his
mad, "no-ice-cream-yet, waiting-in-a-long-line face"--until he finally
gets his cone, and his mad face melts into something sweet. Heidi
Woodward Sheffield gently explores a range of emotions as they relate to
this delicious, everyday experience.
