Iris Ibis Loves Ice Cream

Iris Ibis adores ice cream. No matter what the weather, rain, snow, sunshine, whatever, she will be out in it selling her ice cream—but most of all eating ice cream. As a matter of fact, she will be singing her special song about how much she loves ice cream—even in a hailstorm. When Dolly see her out in a blizzard, she invites Iris inside and the two decide to open an ice cream and doughnut shop together. They take turns selling in the neighborhood. They even have contests in their shop—but of course Iris always wins the ice cream eating contest.
