The front cover says it all already. It is a book to be loved by both kids and kids at heart. The Ice Cream Hotel by Jack Johnston is a whimsical and a very happy children’s book that will surely make your kids want to have it as a bedtime story night after night! It will give them the yummiest and sweetest dreams every bedtime. I know my daughter does. Since the day we got a copy, I’ve been reading it to her for several times now. She just simply loves it just as much as I love it.
The story of The Ice Cream Hotel tells of the delicious and mouth-watering adventure of once a bored little boy to an ice cream hotel for kids where everything is edible. He then enjoys himself in such a delightful hotel with his dog. My daughter loved the idea of having to get to stay at such a marvelous place where a pool is made of chocolate fudge, bed of whip cream and walls and floors you can actually get a taste of. Each page bursts with imaginative and wonderful illustrations of the Ice Cream Hotel with floors of different flavors and more. Kids will definitely go through each page with keen observance just so they can make a picture of imagining themselves being in a real ice cream hotel. The concept might even strike their creative minds to make up more of what else might be there in the hotel— a rocky road lawn for a chocolate golf perhaps?
The Ice Cream Hotel will certainly keep your little ones interested until the last page and would want you to read it again. It will suit young readers ages around 4-8 years old but will still catch attention of older ones and even adults. Excellent colors, wonderful drawing styles and interesting pictures make a great children’s book and thanks to its brilliant illustrator Annette Cable, The Ice Cream Hotel has them. They make a good eye-catcher especially for children who seem to be a little less interested on books or reading. This book could even be a start for trying to get children into reading and using their imagination in reading. I would definitely recommend this book for children who loves fanciful reading time and for anyone who loves to get a glimpse of a crazy but fun child’s imagination. The Ice Cream Hotel book will surely make you swoon and crave to stay in a real ice cream hotel as your child does.
