When Flint Lockwood discovers that his most infamous invention, the FLDSMDFR, is now creating giant 'food beasts' that threaten to destroy civilization, he knows he's the only one who can stop it.
The tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny town except for its weather which came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. But it never rained rain and it never snowed snow and it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup and juice. It snowed things like mashed potatoes. And sometimes the wind blew in storms of hamburgers. Life for the townspeople was delicious until the weather took a turn for the worse. The food got larger and larger and so did the portions. Something has to be done in Chewandswallow...and in a hurry.
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.
Cloudy with a chance of…pie?! An all-new Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs adventure takes foodie fun to—Mars! Breaking News: Astronauts Land on Mars! Kate and Henry can hardly believe their eyes. Astronauts have landed on Mars! And their first discovery there? A thick glutinous substance that seems to be falling from the sky. A substance not unlike...pie filling? Could it be? Could it be raining pies on Mars? Suddenly, Mars seems a whole lot more inviting—and delicious!—than it ever has before. And more will be revealed. Because it just so happens that Grandpa has some very personal experience with these Martians. And, even more importantly, with the pies.
A sequel to Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. This time a postcard from Grandfather's vacation spot sparks Kate to have a dream about the oddly familiar town of Chewandswallow.
