'Nothing beats a frozen sweet treat, as explored in this delectable selection from The History of Foods series (8 titles). With a decidedly American lens, this historical survey of how frozen delights came to be starts with the first account of ice cream in the U.S. and journeys to the 1904 World’s Fair, which debuted the waffle cone, and then to a soda fountain staple, the banana split. The work then expands to include Popsicles, prepackaged ice cream, and the launching of notable ice cream shops. Sidebars are featured throughout, posing questions and sharing fun facts, and vibrant pictures will leave readers craving something sweet. A concluding timeline recaps key historical moments, which are also brought to life by the book's many period photos. Ideal for elementary readers just getting into historical discovery.', Kelly Ferreira, Booklist
