I read this with my 2 year old son as a board book. Because it was smaller, the words were also smaller, making it harder to read. I suggest if you want to read this book with your child, make sure you get the full size edition.

A bit forced and not as enjoyable as the previous story.

I get the feeling that somebody said to the author: If food rained on this one island, why not harvest it and use it to feed the rest of the world? So the author did that.
The girl from the first book has a dream where she and her brother and her grandpa travel to food island to witness it being harvested. It's the same joke as the first book and adds nothing new. I wanted more focus on the pickles on the cover, but it was just one line in the book.

A disappointing sequel to the great hit, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I was not impressed, but I like the effort to revive the story.

Kind of a let down after the first book in the series, Cloudy With an Chance of Meatballs. The authors could have done more on the theme of world hunger....

I recently read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs for the very first time, and I wanted to read this book too, even though my expectations were very low because I’d seen & heard others’ opinions of it, and overall they’re not that enthusiastic. Perhaps this is why I ended up enjoying this book, and being so pleasantly surprised by it. No, it’s not as brilliants as the first (famous) book, but I thought it was fun too.
I like the social responsibility message (despite it being a fantasy), I love the children being so close to their grandfather and the multi-generational family, and, once again, I liked the food, huge and outlandish and out of place, though the premise here is not as funny as the first book’s and it’s also no longer so unique. Also, this book does not really work perfectly as a standalone book; it’s definitely a sequel. However, as long as readers’ expectations are not too high, if they’ve enjoyed the first book, I think they’ll be interested to see what happens next.

A fun and fantastical book. The detail in many of the pictures allow readers to look and look and look for all the things in the illustrations! So much to see. The story was very unemotional, straightforward, but still enjoyable.
