About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a 'silly' mood or when you want to bridge the gap between scientific curiosity and creative play. It is a perfect choice for a rainy afternoon or a bedtime story that prioritizes joy and wonder over a heavy moral lesson. Building on the absurdist legacy of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, this story follows Kate and Henry as they listen to their Grandpa's tall tales about astronauts discovering a Mars made of pie filling. It is a whimsical exploration of space through the lens of a bakery, blending cosmic exploration with the comfort of a kitchen. With its vibrant, detailed illustrations and lighthearted tone, it is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8. Parents will appreciate how it celebrates the special bond between grandchildren and a storytelling grandparent, encouraging children to look at the world (and the universe) with a sense of delicious possibility.
