MY THOUGHTS.....
What can be better than having ice cream every day? What if the ice cream is found on trees and there's a different flavor to try each day? This is the delightful story that's found in Isaac's Ice Cream Tree. Isaac can go to this special tree and choose a different flavor each day of the week! He enjoys this all winter but changes occur when Spring arrives and the temperatures begin to warm. The ice cream begins to melt and then, a rainbow appears. Isaac realizes that the melted colors have now created a rainbow and he is reminded that 'Even when the magic seems gone, always remember to look for the rainbow!
Isaac's Ice Cream Tree is a wonderful book for children! It has easy-to-read text and colorful illustrations, but I especially like that children don't realize that they're learning as they read. Colors, fruits, and the days of the week are a part of this fun story, imagination is encouraged, and so is positivity. And, if they choose to do so, it's also a perfect opportunity for parents to discuss the spiritual meaning of the rainbow!
I received a copy of this book from WhiteSpark Publishing. There was no obligation for a positive review.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
