(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jonathan Allen. Having bought a "double-dip-chocolate-chip-and-cherry ice cream with rainbow twinkles and chopped-nut sprinkles" for his son, Mr. Minky rides his bike along the shorter jungle track to get home before the ice cream melts--but finds himself fending off two butterflies, a toucan, a spider monkey, and more. The tongue-twisting text and comical illustrations swiftly propel the silly story forward.
