This story, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett, is about fun foods like hamburgers, spaghetti, and pancakes that fall from the sky in a tiny town called Chewandswallow.
“Chewandswallow, in most ways, was very much like any other tiny town. It had a Main Street lined with stores, houses with trees and gardens around them, a schoolhouse, about three hundred people, and some assorted cats and dogs. But there were no food stores in the town. They didn’t need any. The sky supplied all the food they could possibly want.”
It never rained or snowed. It only rained soup and juice, or snowed mashed potatoes and green peas. Sounds awesome huh? Well, a few weather problems arise in Chewandswallow so you will want to read this book to find out what happens. Your children will also be delighted by the lightly- colored, whimsical illustrations by Ron Barrett (Judi Barrett’s husband).
I like this book because it is a fun and entertaining book that children absolutely love. 6/23/2009 FYI- I just learned that there is a movie about this book being released this fall.
For about age 2+
