Editorial Reviews
Review
"Bean is a picky puppy. He resists most dishes, and is sure that the only ice cream he appreciates is vanilla, in this peppy picture book that nonetheless encourages trying out new tastes. At the local ice cream parlor, Bean is encouraged to try rainbow, cactus, and cotton candy flavors, among others. He rejects each. But when Miss Sundae slips and showers rainbow sprinkles onto Bean’s cone, he reluctantly dives in―and discovers that maybe, just maybe, there’s more to life than plain." --Michelle Anne Schingler, Foreward Reviewa
