Description
When the world’s most evil, sinister, and wicked ice cream truck driver races past the children of Sweet Street, Big Billy marshals their forces to confront the villain. Armed with bikes, bravery, and a cunning plan, the children turn the wheels on the driver, creating delicious havoc. Sewer covers flip open, trees become launching pads, and military aircraft deploy parachuting children to stop the spiteful ice cream truck driver. The confrontation escalates until a dripping pile of ice cream and an unexpected act of kindness changes everything. Written with humor and illustrated with brilliant color, Big Billy is a story about the power of positive choices. Early reader–ages 5-8.

I think kids will love this style of illustrations. The story had a good lesson for readers and it made me hungry for ice cream! Yum! This will be so fun to read in storytime!

I giggled all the way through this book, although I can't really tell you why. The pictures are of a style I'm not very fond of, but they just fit the story so well that I had to like them. The story is simple, with a good moral. This is a good example of the illustrations and the words fitting together so well that both become better than they would have been separately. I have got to get this one!
