Product Description
A charmingly funny, totally yummy story about an ice-cream van with a mind of its own – and a very naughty goat!
Book Description
Wayne and Wendy’s parents are always coming up with crazy business schemes. Having unsuccessfully tried their hand at goat farming they’ve now bought a bashed up old ice-cream van called Macaroni, and are ready to take to the road selling their extraordinary ice-cream. There’s Marshmallow Squidge, Chocwobble, and Cheesy Peasmint – no ordinary flavours are allowed on board! Wayne and Wendy, and their mischievous pet goat Gina, are soon having great fun with Macaroni - who turns out to be a very unusual, rather magical ice-cream van!

A year or two ago I read this to my daughter (aged 6/7) and we both enjoyed it. She has read it many times since and we have bought the sequel. Today, spotting the negative review here on Amazon, I feel moved to redress the balance. I haven't seen the TV series, so I judge the book purely on its own merit.
The Ice Cream Mystery is a great book to read to the younger child or for newly confident readers to read to themselves. The underlying idea, a magical ice cream van (Macaroni) is guaranteed to catch the imagination of most primary-school-age readers. Two children and their pet goat accidentally unleash a pip-popping zip-zapping secret ingredient into Macaroni's ice-cream and a gentle adventure ensues. Where is Macaroni going in the middle of the night, and why? And can she and the children help with a seaside rescue?
This story may not be an action-packed thriller, and there are no sinister bullies, or plots to overthrow the world. It is however a great book to take a step on from the easiest paperbacks like the Rainbow Fairies and The Magic Treehouse series, with a picture every few pages.
This is a charming story that will appeal to both boys and girls alike, and especially those with a sweet tooth who'll be desperate to try the delicious-sounding Marshmallow Squidge and Chocowobble ice-cream flavours. And if they enjoy it, and its blue sequel "Totally Fizzbombed", then you might like The Mum Shop by Ceci Jenkinson for the same fresh and sparkly feel.

This book was disappointing after having watched the children's television series which was based on this book and I had bought the book specifically for my daughter after having seen the television series which she thoroughly enjoyed. It must have been very loosely based as it was set in a different area, the children only had one parent and the only thing that was the same was the actual ice cream van.
