Customer Reviews

As good as the first

I 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)!

One of my FAVORITES!

This is one of the BEST kids' books around. A fabulous sequel to "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs", this is just one of those fun books to share wtih your kids, and a must-have on the shelf, even if your kids are too old to apprecite it - everyone needs a little silliness now and again!

Excellent Book

This book was a good sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Not Returning to Chewandswallow.

I thought PICKLES TO PITTSBURGH was the sequel to CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS, but I was somewhat mistaken. The children from the first story do visit Chewandswallow, but only in a dream. The illustrations in this book are just as original as the ones in the first. However, the story is lacking and doesn't have the charm of the original story. Young children don't seem to mind that, though, and like reading the stories back to back. If you're familiar with CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS, you maybe disappointed somewhat after reading PICKLES TO PITTSBURGH. However, if you're just looking for a book to read to kids, it's a good choice.

Super, Super, Duper, Fabulous

This book is very creative. People should read this book because it is hilarious. I am a second grader and I read this in my class.
