Ice Cream Read Alouds

Keep the ice cream theme going with these read alouds.

Gorillas and ice cream star in Gorilla Loves Vanilla by Chae Strathie. If an animal ordered an ice cream sundae, what flavor would they like? Perhaps squirmy wormy for chicken. But, what would a gorilla like?  And, this one works on rhyming.

the ice cream truck book

Travel around town delivering ice cream in The Little Ice Cream Truck by Margery Cuyler.

Dinosaurs star in Groovy Joe Ice Cream & Dinosaurs by Eric Litwin. Really, what preschooler doesn’t love the combos of dogs, dinosaurs, and ice cream? This one is highly recommended as a whole group read-aloud for circle time. Students will love to join in singing the repetitive chorus. You can listen and watch the Spanish version.
