Chilly Milly Moo

I recently saw a cute picture book called Chilly Milly Moo about a cow who is having trouble producing milk because she is too hot.  The farmer is annoyed with her and threatens dire consequences if she doesn't perk up and give some milk.

There is a big, cold storm that spreads across the dairy farm----and when the farmer milks the cow, Milly, she produces ice cream instead of milk!

Do you remember the days when our schools and libraries weren't air-conditioned?  I can remember it being over 90 degrees in my classroom and trying to teach important concepts to hot, sweaty students.  I can remember bringing in a box fan from home to try and cool my classroom---and it was so noisy that I practically had to yell in order to be heard.  I can remember doing inventory in the un-air-conditioned library at the beginning of June and being hot, cranky, and grimy.

What are your memories of too-warm schools and libraries?  

AND---what is your favorite flavor of ice cream?  (The book doesn't indicate what flavor of ice cream that Milly produced).  :-)
