Pickles to Pittsburgh

I happened to really enjoy Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs but unfortunately it was checked out when I went to the library so I grabbed the sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. The reason I enjoy these books is because I enjoy food and this book is about flying food! This book is very imaginative and kids would love reading about something like this. This book brings to life something that we might have dreamed up but could never quite visualize. The pictures in this book are so detailed. The lines on the food create texture and make the food look more realistic. There was even a lot of expression in the faces of the people watching the food. As I continued reading I just could not get over the amount of detail in each illustration, I know that kids won’t notice or care but I enjoy and appreciate it. This book has so much to offer great illustrations and a fun imaginative storyline; however, I would have to say that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is still my favorite.
