In this book I Want an Ice Cream the reader looks at the difference between people’s needs and wants. Rabbit’s mother takes him shopping for new clothes that he needs. Rabbit would rather have an ice cream than go shopping, but his mother repeatedly reminds him that he doesn’t need an ice cream, but he does need new clothes. At the end, when their shopping is done, Rabbit’s mother realises she wants an ice cream, too.
