Snack and Story Time: ICE CREAM EVERYWHERE

on
by Marci Whitehurst As the last threads of summer weave into autumn, it’s fun to savor some of our favorite summer activities. Without question, one of our favorite activities is eating ICE CREAM! With so many different flavors and toppings, it’s a treat to be enjoyed by all. Of course, ice cream can be eaten all year long, but with the hottest temperatures of the year waning, we’re enjoying this cool treat with the last of our hot temps. Did you know that ice cream is eaten all over the world and can even be eaten at breakfast?! Plus, it has different names in a variety of countries. How do I know? I read a book, of course! Books take us on journeys—including ones with ice cream. READ : ICE CREAM EVERYWHERE: Sweet Stories from Around the World , by Judy Campbell-Smith, Illustrated by Lucy Semple. Gather with various cultures around the world as they celebrate sharing ice cream together—and the traditions surrounding this treat! DISCUSS : What is your favorite kind of ice cream? Why? W

The fourth annual Read, Discuss, Do! Summer Challenge starts in one week, on June 5, 2024.

Every summer we challenge you to engage with the young readers in your life by reading, discussing, and doing all summer long with weekly book recommendations, discussion prompts, and simple activity ideas to pair with books. This year’s theme is Reading Road Trip, and we’ll be hitting the road on June 5! Each week will be a different stop on the journey, like driving through the open country to see farms and wildlife, soaking in the wonders of nature at a scenic overlook, visiting an amusement park just for fun, and more!


You can sign up to be an official Road Trip Traveler by filling out this form, which will make you eligible for a summer reading prize pack at the end of the trip. Or you can simply sit back and enjoy the ride. There will be other giveaways along the way.


Will you be joining us? Download the printable Reading Road Map and begin planning your trip today! There’s space at each “stop” for you to write down books you read along the way, and doing so just might help you win a book or two! There are also printable bookmarks that you and your kids can color! 



This is a low pressure challenge meant to help you engage with your kids with books and fun over the summer. We hope you’ll join us! Once again, here's the sign-up form!
