Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
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?

Editorial Reviews
The tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny town except for its weather which came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. But it never rained rain and it never snowed snow and it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup and juice. It snowed things like mashed potatoes. And sometimes the wind blew in storms of hamburgers. Life for the townspeople was delicious until the weather took a turn for the worse. The food got larger and larger and so did the portions. Chewandswallow was plagues by damaging floods and storms of huge food. The town was a mess and the pople feared for their lives. Something had to be done, and in a hurry. END

thank you for your bargain price for a great quality book and the timely shipping!
What struck me first about this story is that there is no "point." It's not a morality tale, there's no lesson -- it's just a fun story that a kid and a grandpa would share. I could totally imagine my late grandfather telling this story to me along with the dozens of other stories and jokes he shared with us when we were little.
I'm not going to get into the plot, because that's well covered elsewhere on this page. But the illustrations are detailed and funny, and the story just gets bigger and more unbelievable and goofy. That exactly what holds a child's attention. Which made me realize, this is a PERFECT book to be reading a child who only sits still for short books. You know... a 2 or 3 year old who can understand the words, but it only interested for short periods. The story moves so quickly and is so giggly and quirky, they will learn to sit for longer with this book for sure.
Highly recommended!
My four kids loved this book to the point that we wore out our copy and had to buy a new one. Now my grandchildren are enjoying it too. I did not always enjoy every story I was asked to read over and over again, but this one was different. I enjoyed reading this as much as they enjoyed listening to it. They would even have fun pretending what foods they would love to rain down on them. What more can you ask of a story.
