About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to celebrate the joyful tug-of-war between summer responsibilities and the pure, sugary whimsy of childhood. It is the perfect choice for a child who feels a bit of 'summer slide' pressure or for a family looking to infuse a little humor into their academic routines. Through a series of letters to his grandfather, a young boy describes his summer studies, while the intricate illustrations reveal that every single subject: from history and math to geography: is actually an excuse to think about ice cream. This story beautifully captures the imaginative ways children process information, turning dry facts into something personal and delicious. It is a lighthearted, visually stunning reminder that learning can be found in the things we love most, making it a great pick for ages 4 to 8 during the long hot months of summer vacation.
