The cover alone is adorable, let alone the great story Etta Kaner presents in Do Lizard Eat Ice Cream?

This book shows us the many ways animals keep themselves cool to beat the summer heat! Like ostriches wearing flip flops and lizards eating ice cream! Unfortunately (or fortunately, I guess, depending on if you wanted comedy or non-fiction), you get the actual answers to how animals keep cool! So no ice cream for our lizard buddies, instead they dance!

I think this book is cute and smart - not only does it present some goofy ideas with funny pictures, but it gives us some teachable moments too. I can really appreciate a book that can mix the non-fiction goodness of learning and some silly pictures!

Overall, this book is a really great addition to your picture book shelf! It's fun, educational and colourful!

Four out of five stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and OwlKids for giving me an opportunity to read this book!

Very fun, educational book about how a variety of animals keep cool! Cute illustrations and interesting facts abound in this book. This would be fantastic for early elementary school aged children.

Thanks NetGalley and OwlKids Books for providing this ARC.

I never thought about how animals survive a summer. I did wonder how they stay or got cool. It’s amazing to learn what they do. The book tells you quite a variety of animals and how they stay cool. I loved the questions asked and the answers. The illustrations are perfect for this book. I do think that you can be any age and enjoy reading this nonfiction book.

This is a cute book that teaches kids the ways that animals cool themselves down. Each time asks a question like do elephants use fans to cool down, and then the next page tells you yes or no. Sometimes the answer is yes (sort of), like saying that elephants use their ears like fans. Colorful, somewhat silly illustrations show each animal doing the ridiculous first question and then showing how they really cool off. There is no end section with photos or more information, but it's a fun little book that my 8 year old enjoyed.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

Do Lizards Eat Ice Cream? teaches about different ways that animals can beat the heat. The silly questions, followed by the informative answers, are written to hold the attention of young children. If your child is an animal lover, I recommend this book. The illustrations are bright and cheery.

Thank you to OwlKids Books and NetGalley for the electronic ARC to review.

Do Lizards Eat Ice Cream? is a fun and adorable children’s book that is hard not to smile at! Our children loved reading this book together!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love the cute illustrations. I feel like this is a nonfiction book that is really accessible to all kids. I think kids will pick up the book and be pleasantly surprised!

Do Lizards Eat Ice Cream? This book is all about how animals beat the heat and I read this with my 5 and 9 yr old. It was really cute when they gave their answers and thought they were right on the yes or no. 9 yr old- “I thought I was right when I was wrong” 5 yr old- “I loves how squirrels use “umbrellas”.
