 Emelda is 46 years old. Her husband, Charlie, has left her for a 23-year-old dancer. Her five difficult sons worship their father and blame Emelda for his leaving. On top of everything else, she has to struggle with a new job at the local supermarket. For comfort she turns to her only true friend - ice-cream.
But lately there's a handsome man driving the ice-cream van. Could romance be about to blossom? |

I haven't read this one yet... but it does seem nice  I now understand why there's an ice-cream on the book cover. |

And why it's called Mrs Whippy.  This is a great book if you don't have much time to read. It's only 75 pages! (Royalties go to the CARI foundation by the way  |

Hey, I just found out that Mrs. Whippy is a book which some pupils have to read in German schools! How cool is that?  |

No, not homework. Sometimes you read English books in English lessons and that's what they do with Mrs. Whippy. They read and analyse it in school! Soooo cool!
