Genre: Children’s Lit
Medium: Hardcover
Synopsis: This little ice cube knows that it’s a great honor to be chosen for someone’s drink. But what if there’s more out there?
Review: Hi, I love this book. Not only does it teach about the water cycle in an indirect way, but it shows the importance of family, growing up, and being different. Also, I really enjoy David Ezra Stein’s illustrations.
So, this little ice cube wants something more, right? So he goes off to the beach, where he gets a little melty. And after being evaporated, rained down, and re-frozen, Ice Boy finally returns home, where his parents, being poured into a drink, are overjoyed that he’s returned. He looks a little different, yes, but he’s returned. And he’s better for having left, and he’s different, but he’s returned.
I just. It’s such a sweet book, and it’s educational, and it’s sentimental. Leaving home can change you, but it’s all worth it in the end, especially if you have a family that will love you no matter what.
