Wow, this was an absolutely wonderful book! I think I enjoyed reading it just as much as my kids, and it is definitely one that we can read over and over and continue to enjoy! We are big fans of ice cream in this house, and the wonderfully fun character names had us laughing!
Not only was this book full of fun that had us giggling and soaking in the cute images, it also had a great message that every child should read. There is a bullying storyline that really shows children the hurtful nature of it. I really liked how the other ice cream friends/flavors come to the rescue and stand up for Mustachio Pistachio when King Bully Vanilli targets him!
The story is filled with such interesting character names that coincide with ice cream flavors, and the illustrations brought them to life! They were bright, full of color and done wonderfully!
Overall, this is an absolutely wonderful children’s story! There is even an interactive video book and a website that helps to bring the whole story to life!
