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. Use this with Lisa Robinson's The Sweetest Scoop (BCCB 5/22) and Lucky Diaz's Paletero Man (BCCB 5/21) for a satisfying triple scoop of storytime goodness.
