I like how this sequel focused on sharing abundance. Where is there abundance, where isn't there abundance, and how do we all work together toward supporting needs...that can lead to a great PBL project. :-) It also can lead toward a discussion on the needs of living things. I also appreciate how inventive this series is. I think it is important to connection the creativity found within writing with the concept of invention found in science. It would have help my younger writing self, see myself as also having a science self.

The sequel to "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." It answers the question about what happened after all of the people left.
I like that the solution was to collect the food and give it away to places where people are hungry. But I'm not sure the message really hit home for the kids amidst the silliness. Still, I think young fans of the original will like a follow-up.
This book is the sequel to one of my favorites, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. In this book, Grandpa goes on vacation and the kids dream that he goes back to Chewandswallow. In their dream, the town is now sending their giant food to hungry people all over the world. When Grandpa comes back with pictures, the kids wonder if their dreams were true.
This is a smooth follow up to the original Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Picking up right where we left off with a great solution to the overwhelming food problem. I would recommend this for 1st-4th grades as lead to recycling or addressing world hunger.
Once again Judi Barrett creates a pictorially nice world for children to enter into. The story was a little lacking compared to her previous work but still worth the read.
The sequel to "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" and we didn't love it like we did its predecessor. Has a nice UU message to it, though, but no magic and it didn't amaze us by any means. Disappointing.
