The picture book about the town of Chewandswallow, where the weather came three times a day as food falling from the sky. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner rained down until the portions got dangerously big. A read-aloud staple that every elementary-school kid seemed to meet at some point.
Bruce Coville's 1994 sequel to Aliens Ate My Homework, the one where Rod Allbright and his bratty cousin Elspeth get snatched into another dimension by a monster called Smorkus Flinders. Exactly the kind of paperback that came home in a book-fair bag or got renewed twice at the library, from the author who had already turned a whole grade's worth of kids into alien believers.
