The Ice Cream Cowboys
Illustrated by Tim Archbold
George Dobbs worries about everything both real and unreal, so when his mother sends him out to get three ice creams, he has a lot more on his mind to cause anxiety. Imagine his surprise when an ice cream van operated by two fairly unusual cowboys turns up, selling such unlikely flavours as Cactus Crunch and Rattlesnake Ripple. The results that ensue once the ice creams are eaten are unpredictable and hilarious, with the local gang of bullies also getting their comeuppance. Archbold's illustrations help to make the book a definitely fun read.
