Reviews
"Ice cream elicits an impressive repertoire of expressions from this book's narrator, a self-named 'ice cream kid.' . . . Sheffield employs photographs--most evocatively of the coveted ice cream scoops--digital painting, and subtly mottled collage in this amiable meditation on the joys of a rich emotional life starring a funny, self-aware protagonist who wears their ice-cream-loving heart on their sleeve."--Publishers Weekly

"Now here's a young man who knows his ice cream. . . . The narrator for this tasty outing is an appealing Everykid with a mischievous, anticipatory smile stretched across his expressive brown face, and his keen observations of the many ways to enjoy a cone (from dribblers to ice cream-bearded babies) ring true. Sheffield's collage artwork is especially evocative in its consistent contrast between grainy cut paper figures and backdrops mixed with photographs of the ice cream itself--smooth, glossy, and technicolor-bright." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
