Description

The almost Amazing Squirrel and their lovely assistant, Bear, are here to make snacks (and ice cream) disappear! A deliciously funny picture book from the award-winning creator of The Bear Ate Your Sandwich. Squirrel is an expert at making acorns disappear. But making some ice cream vanish! "I put it right there! On that hot rock in the sun!" When Squirrel returns with Bear and finds the ice cream gone, they know there is only one explanation-Squirrel is a magician! Determined to replicate this feat, Squirrel and Bear follow the ice cream truck...and put on a show every forest animal will remember forever. With a text that begs to be read aloud and lush paintings filled with humor, Julia Sarcone-Roach creates magical mayhem and a story so delicious, kids will be begging for second helpings.
