Scoop, the Ice Cream Truck: A Sweet Summer of Change

by Patricia Keeler (Author)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Boys and girls, mothers and fathers, meet your new best friend! Scoop the Ice Cream Truck doesn't quite fit in with modern times. He tries to change to make himself more popular just to fit in, only to discover, through friendship, that he is fine just the way he is!

Scoop the Ice Cream Truck has seen a lot of summers selling his vanilla ice cream cones across the city. But he's getting old, and the new trucks are getting fancier. Now they have waffle cones, jumbo sundaes, flash frozen ice cream, twenty-seven flavors and six special toppings. Feeling like he's fallen behind, Scoop decides that it's time for a redesign.

But when his old frame can't handle the new upgrades, can Scoop discover his own value and find the right spot to sell his vanilla cones?

With beautiful full-color art, and a lesson to teach, here is a big that will be a joy for parents and children at bedtime, or any time.

This paperback edition includes supplemental information about the history of ice cream trucks at the back of the book.

A market-driven economy lesson, with friendship squeezed in, too. 

Review quotes

Keeler does not patronize the intelligence of young readers; instead she trusts them to stretch their minds a bit. The illustrations by Patricia Keeler are charming and her artwork has a uniquely individual style that assists in bringing home the book's message. It works. Highly recommended. —San Francisco Book Review
