Bookroo's summary

In the quirky town of Chewandswallow, meals fall from the sky like clockwork. But when the weather turns wild, food grows to monstrous sizes, threatening the townspeople's safety. As pancakes and hamburgers wreak havoc, the community must find a way to weather the storm or face being buried under their own meals. Will they find a solution before it's too late? Dive into this deliciously chaotic adventure where the forecast is anything but ordinary.

"We were all sitting around the big kitchen table. It was Saturday morning. Pancake morning."

— from the book

From the publisher

The beloved, bestselling tale of edible weather is brought to life! If food dropped like rain from the sky, wouldn’t it be marvelous! Or would it? It could, after all, be messy. And you’d have no choice. What if you didn’t like what fell? Or what if too much came? Have you ever thought of what it might be like to be squashed flat by a pancake?
