  • What happens when you try to make an ice cream cake but end up with too many toppings? It turns into ice cream soup, of course. Which, let’s be honest, is pretty delicious, too. Ice Cream Cake by Ann Ingalls is one of my favorite early readers. Told in rhyming text with a focus on small, easy to read CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant), this book is just good fun. Kids will delight in watching the ice cream cake turn to soup, and will sympathize with the boy as he adds topping after topping.
