Publisher Description
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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A full 35 years after Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (and 16 years after its sequel, Pickles to Pittsburgh), Barrett offers a third food-filled romp starring Kate, Henry, and Grandpa. Mon s nicely approximates Ron Barrett's work on the previous books, as news reports about the possibility of pie filling on the surface of Mars pique the children's interest. B&w pen-and-ink artwork shifts to color as Grandpa dreams of a trip to the red planet, where the locals have more pie than they can handle. Though the story meanders, Mon s's visions of a dessert-laden Mars should whet readers' appetites. Ages 4 8.
