Book Boys Brain Break: Stick Dog Dreams of Ice Cream

It’s a Heat Wave!

This heat wave is hot, hot, hot, and the Book Boys need to find a way to cool off! Can they work together to track down a delicious sweet treat and beat the heat?

Inspired by the Book of the Week—Stick Dog Dreams of Ice Cream, written by Tom Watson and illustrated by Ethan Long—Allister, Elliott, and Max perform an original song in a fun, class-friendly video. Share it with your students as a brain break between lessons or after recess as a warm-up activity to complement this hilarious installment in a kid-favorite series.


We Suggest:

1. Read aloud Stick Dog Dreams of Ice Cream with your class, or encourage students to read smaller sections on their own

2. Play the Book Boys music video as a warm-up to lessons after recess or lunch

3. After reading, open up a conversation about ways we can beat the heat. What do your students like to do to cool off when the weather is hot?

What are some creative ways your students deal with hot weather? If you’re able, please share your students’ responses with the Scholastic Book Clubs community on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #ScholasticBookClubs.

Meet the Book Boys

Allister, Elliott, and Max are three friends who work at Scholastic Book Clubs and love books—and they want to share the joy of reading with your students! New this school year: every week, you can watch the Book Boys performing a brand-new fun, educational, and engaging song and Brain Break activity to get students excited about the Book of the Week. Play the Book Boys videos in your classroom (or at home) to help your students connect to the story and explore the exciting world of reading.

A Note from Judy

What’s the recipe for a perfect read-aloud? A pinch of perseverance and a dollop of fun! The Book of the Week is Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao written by Kat Zhang and illustrated by Charlene Chua.

Join the Book Boys as they learn how to make their own bao in an original music video; watch an exclusive interview with author Kat Zhang in Behind the Scenes; discover how one teacher uses Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao in her classroom in Book Talks; and download a free printable “My Perfect Recipe” sequencing activity in Cooked Up from a Book.

We hope that Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao inspires you and your students to never give up on trying something new, because practice makes perfect!
