Katja Gehrmann & Constanze Spengler

No Further Than the Ice Cream Van

Dad and Mika are on a beach holiday: setting up parasols, swimming, reading, playing badminton. Until the ice cream van rings its bell. Mika runs to get the ice cream, but is held up – and the van is already gone again. So let’s go after it!

The hunt for the ice cream van is a turbulent, exciting and very funny story involving a donkey with a yellow summer hat, a market woman, a bus driver, a water-ski driver and a pilot.
Katja Gehrmann shows us a holiday island that awakens our longing for holidays: with a market, a ferry terminal, a lighthouse – and lots of ice cream …

This wonderfully quirky and at the same time clever picture book tells a story that thrives on veering into the absurd and thus guarantees great fun to read and read aloud.
