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) Product Description: In this charming sequel to the classic Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Kate and Henry eagerly await Grandpa's return from a vacation that his postcard says has been one of the best and most unusual ever. Thinking about that postcard Kate drifts off to sleep that night and... "With Henry as my co-pilot..." she visits the strange land of Chewandswallow -- a land characterized by massive amounts of food, immense carrots, leafy jungles of lettuce, and tuna fish sandwiches so gigantic they have to be moved by helicopter. What the people of Chewandswallow are doing with all that food is most intriguing of all. Fans of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs will applaud this return trip with its underlying message of generosity and a world community. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Big disappointmentPickles 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. :( Rating: - KJCBS@IAVERY 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. Rating:  - didn't seem as amazing as the original, but still pretty awesomeThis 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! Rating: - Disappointing sequelYears ago, my kids had enjoyed the book "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". When I learned that there was a sequel, I immediately ordered it for my two young grandsons, along with the original. Both my husband and I were disappointed with the new book; it seemed downright silly and except for "grandpa" in the story, it didn't have too much to do with the original. Rating:  - As good as the firstI was surprised to read all the negative reviews of this book so I had to submit my own. My son loves this book even more than the first (also one of his favorites). This one, like the first, has great illustrations, a great story, and never fails to get my little one giggling (even after reading it 100 times)!
