The definitive reference on food meteorology.

Wonderful adaptation of the book. Plot is more developed, with a young aspiring scientist character who actually causes the food to drop from the sky, a villian, a love interest, and a loving father. Writing is witty and laugh-out-loud hilarious. Perfect for adults and children of all ages, and fun
