Product Description
In Pickles to Pittsburgh, the Barretts' sequel to the delightfully funny, bestselling Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, we check back in with Kate and Henry as they eagerly await Grandpa's return from an unusual vacation. Kate dreams about a postcard Grandpa has sent, and the story begins. Kate and Henry pilot a plane, landing on a runway of crisp bacon strips next to a field of giant broccoli stalks and oversized hamburgers. Passing through an orange-juice rain, they approach the town of Chewandswallow, which "used to be a very ordinary town, except that instead of weather, food rained down from the sky for breakfast, lunch, and dinner." Times have changed in Chewandswallow, and readers will love finding out how storms of gigantic food threatened normal life until eventually the Falling Food Company was created, sending food to hungry people around the world. Ron Barrett's comical, detailed ink-and-watercolor illustrations and the lively story make this a satisfying sequel to a delicious classic. Pickles to Pittsburgh is an excellent bedtime book--just keep a snack handy! (Ages 4 to 8)

Summary:
Good book, though this sequel is not as good as original

Comment:
This book, Pickles to Pittsburgh, is the sequel to one of my favorite books as a child, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. The sequel did not meet up to my expectations and there did not seem to be as much imagination to the story as the first one. It seemed as though the author just decided to write a book with a bunch of pages full of giant food with a lackluster plotline. I do recommend this for children(around 8 years old) who already have the Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs book.

Pickles To Pittsburgh
This book is definitely not as good as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I was rather disappointed in it, actually. It's pretty pointless compared to the first and sadly unimaginative. I had such high hopes for this book, and was really excited when I found it. I feel like I wasted my money. :(

VERY DISAPPOINTING SEQUEL: This book regurgitates too much of the 1st book. Worth reading? Maybe! But borrow it from a library. You will be happy to return it & not have paid to purchase it.

Comment:
This book didn't excite me as much as the original (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) but then again, I was a little kid when i read the first and now I am old and moldy so to speak. I think kids will still love this one! 4 stars!
