This is a book full of imagination and what ifs. Of course what goes on in this book could never happen it is still a fun read. Kids will love this book beacuse of the crazy things going on in the pictures.

Full of dlightfully incongruous illustrations, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs turns the world on end and imagines what things would be like if instead of rain and snow, we got hambergers and mashed potatoes. The story begins in the kitchen at breakfast time where the pankcake flipping has gotten a bit out of hand. Inspired by the silines of the morning, Grandfather tells his grandchildren the best tall tale bedtime story ever of a strange town far away called Chewandswallow. Barrett boldly dares to imagine the wildest possibilities, with a very pleasing and humorous result. If only dinner would fall from the sky! ( )

A great children's book, wonderful for reading out loud. Wild things rain down from the sky in the town of
Chew and Swallow! ( )

This is one of my all-time favorite stories. It begins in the morning where a family sits down for breakfast and the pictures are black and white. That evening, the grandpa tells a story about a town called Chewandswallow where all the food fell from they sky as rain and snow and fog and wind and the pictures are now in color. It is amazing the types of meals this town can have. Then, the weather takes a turn for the worse and the residents are forced to evacuate. I love the imagination in this fictional tale. It really can lead into great conversation and would provide a good template for students to fill in the blanks of what they would want to fall from the sky and what type of precipitation it would come down as.

This is a hilarious book for children to read using their own imagination! Food is everywhere! What a mess, but children absolutely love it!! Recommend reading to your child;) ( )
