it's funny! it's messy and H enjoyed when he added the different toppings especially the gummy bears. it's great for starting to learn to read, prompting kids to talk about what he's adding next. we also enjoyed the two little kitten companions

What an adorable story! My five year old loved it. It had a few difficult words, and is longer than most books she reads independently, but she pulled through with a bit of prompting. Perfect for slightly more confident almost-level 2 readers. Great way for them to learn spellings of colours and numbers upto five too.
Fiona read this to me when I was feeling unwell, and there is nothing so delightful as being read to by your second-grader.
I picked this up because another librarian recommended it to me for my "Letter I" story time. It's just not a good read aloud, there's no real story to it. But, it is a leveled reader and it's great at that.

I love the rhyming cadence of this one--I can't fathom eating like ten scoops of ice cream in one sitting, ahhhh! Although the sundae he makes does look pretty good. He tries making an ice cream cake but it all just melts together

This is a cute beginning reading book. The text is simple, but the story and illustrations are very engaging. Any child would relate to the desire to make a gigantic ice cream cake, but would realize that this character has overdone it. Love it!

I know this is a level reader book but the story did not seem very strong in relation to character development and story development.

Synopsis: "What happens when you try to make an ice cream cake, but add too much stuff? You end up with ice cream soup! This original Level 1 reader with rhyming text is perfect for beginning readers."
My Rating: This is a fun and silly book for those beginning readers. It is a great level one book with large print, simple words and sentences and a story to keep attention. Many of the words are sight words that early readers will be able to pick up on. The story is also so silly, about making an ...more

This was part of my ice cream storytime. The kids did a great job of chiming in with the "pat and pat" portion and also enjoyed calling out which ingredient he would add next. But the end just wasn't quite right and didn't sound resolved enough. Even my kids noticed, since they all just sorta sat there waiting for more. *shrugs* Still, I'd use it again, since there isn't a whole lot out there about ice cream.

While the illustrations are magical, I think it would send the wrong message to children that its alright to use tons and tons of sugar and candy, with no consequences. It wasn't until I was 17 that I learned that having a bowl of ice cream doesn't mean that you have to jam pack as much as possible into the container. I think this book has the potential to hinder, not improve. To entertain, but not to teach.

Ice Cream Soup is our third favorite Penguin Young Readers, Level 1 book.
It's a bit harder than the others, so our 5-year-old granddaughter couldn't always read it alone, but she liked the story better than some of the others.
