Lindsay (1779 KP) rated War at the Ice Cream Store 2: Rocky Road vs The Sundae Storm in Books

May 27, 2025

This book is similar to the first book. We meet a few more new characters. One is Sheriff Mults, I believe. We are also introduced to Allen Halfgallon. This book gets more fun. It is funny and loveable. I just loved the characters and their personalities. I also like the wordplay. It is like reading the words in a song.

I like how they try to help and come up with an idea together to save the day. Vanilli Nice calls for help and then tells them about the war emergency at the ice cream store. Will they be able to save the day? Or will the Sundae Storm win out?

We are then introduced to Rocky Road. Will he be able to save the day? Will the frozen treats be able to save the day, and or will the shop be closed on a perfect summer day?

The story can be told by just looking at the pictures. The pictures are colorful and enjoyable to look at. I enjoy the way the story plays out. Will they rally together to save the historical day, or will they not? I like the Newman telling the story through his eyes as if on the news in weather report style. We also see it through the ice cream flavor point of view.

You know those days or really rather weeks where everything just gets turned upside down? Well this is how it is for me. And when you're prescribed bed rest to fix it except you don't have the time for it :(, panic and worry ensue!!

And then all you want is a big bucket of kfc chicken and a tub of salted caramel ice cream to make you
Feel better but you can't keep anything down.

On the bright side, i know have time to attempt to read vanity fair to find out what happens before ITV shows me on Sunday:)

David McK (3652 KP) rated The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in Books

Jan 28, 2019

Going by publication date the first of CS Lewis's 'Chronicles of Narnia' series; this is the second by the authors own reading-order guide and the most famous of the entire series.

It is, of course, very easy to see the Christian allegory throughout the course of the story, which tells of how Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy first came to the magical land of Narnia (through the wardrobe): a land which is under perpetual snow and ice due to the White Witch - always Winter; never Christmas - before being freed by the children under the guidance and with the help of Aslan the Lion.
