Description
In the amusing sequel to 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 “was once a very bizarre town, except for that as a substitute 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 once created, sending food to hungry people around the globe. Ron Barrett’s comical, detailed ink-and-watercolor illustrations and the full of life story make this a satisfying sequel to a delicious classic. Pickles to Pittsburgh is a wonderful bedtime book–just keep a snack handy! (Ages 4 to 8)
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 abnormal vacation. Kate dreams about a postcard Grandpa has sent, and the story begins.
