Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts (Hardcover)

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-An appealing and instructive book on the history and production of ice cream from making it at home (with a few simple recipes) to the manufacturing of Klondike Krunch bars at the Good Humor-Breyers factory in Richmond, VA. The book is largely given over to a tour through the factory and the steps in the production process. Workers are introduced and their jobs are described; color photographs show machines and people at work. "More about Ice Cream" offers an annotated list of Web sites and other books on the subject, including William Jaspersohn's Ice Cream (Macmillan, 1988), which takes readers through a different factory by way of black-and-white photographs.Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
