Ding ding! Do you hear that music? It’s the sound of summer—the ice cream truck is coming!

In many American neighborhoods, the ice cream truck drives around during summer, playing cheerful music to let everyone know it’s near. Kids rush outside with their dollars, lining up to pick their favorite frozen treats.

There are so many choices! You might get a rocket pop with red, white, and blue stripes, a chocolate-dipped cone, or a rainbow sherbet push-pop. Some even look like cartoon characters with bubble gum eyes!

It’s not just about the ice cream—it’s the excitement. You hear the music, you run to ask your parents, and you hope the truck doesn’t pass your street too quickly. When you finally get your treat, it feels like magic in your hands.

Whether you’re licking a cone before it melts or trading bites with your best friend, the ice cream truck is pure summer joy. So next time you hear that song, grab your shoes and run!
