Pringle, Laurence Ice! The Amazing History of the Ice Business, 68 p. Calkins Creek, 2012. $18. NON-FICTION. Content: G.
I know it is easy now to go to your refrigerator and get a glass of ice at a push of a button. But until the 1820’s, ice was something that only the wealthy could afford outside of winter. Pringle takes something that may be obsolete and makes into interesting, readable history. For a business that really only lasted 100 years, it certainly makes for interesting reading. If your students really enjoy non-fiction, this is a solid addition.
