A little boy writes a letter to his grandfather about all the reading and studying he is doing this summer--but all his activities revolve around ice cream.

"Splat's class is going on a year-end field trip to the ice cream factory. Splat is extremely excited thinking about the mountain of ice cream he's going to eat. But when things don't go as planned, that ice cream mountain turns out to be more of an avalanche. It's up to Splat and his classmates to save the day! Beginning readers will scream for more Splat the Cat fun after devouring this delectable tale"--Jacket.
