Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Aldo Sossi is an eccentric third-grader who gets very involved in everything he does. In Much Ado , Aldo becomes a vegetarian when he realizes that the class's pet crickets will be eaten by predatory chameleons. Applesauce is the not-so-welcome nickname Aldo gets stuck with when his family moves to the suburbs. In Ice Cream , he's so busy all summer that he needs a vacation when it's over. Ages 8-12.

----------------------------------------------
"Aldo Ice Cream" by Johanna Hurwitz (William Morrow, 1981) ---------------------------------------------- If you've enjoyed the all classic Beverly Cleary books and are looking for similar material -- sweet, believable stories about regular kids in everyday situations -- then you might want to check out Johanna Hurwitz and her New York-based ouvre. This is the third book in a series about a conscientious young boy named Aldo Sossi, who became a vegetarian in third grade, and later moved from New York City to suburban New Jersey. In this volume Aldo looks forward to a long, luxurious summer, which he hopes to spend sampling all the flavors at his local ice cream shop, but fate intervenes to give him some bigger goals: Aldo starts to help his mom with her volunteer work at Meals On Wheels, which leads him to some other interesting projects, such as winning a dirty-sneaker contest sponsored by a local shoe store. As always, the tone of Hurwitz's writing is a delight - this book is fun to read aloud, with characters you can grow close to. Recommended! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)
