Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (1978)

I loved this book as a child and was thrilled that my two girls enjoyed it so much as well. We talked about it for days and discussed what our favorite "weather" would be. ( )

A great children's book ( )

Good book for children. ( )

This story tells the story of a Grandfather telling his grandshildren a story. In the little town of Chewandswallow food falls from the sky and gives people everything they need. Everything was going well until too much food starts falling from the sky. The people of Chewandswallow use thier ingenuity to escape the town and the food falling from the sky. The creativity and excitement of the story combined with rich illustrations are wonderful to engage students in the story. A creative way to use this in the classroom would be to have students write a story surrounding food and illustrate it. This would be good for students who show interest in culinary arts. ( )

Such a cute book ( )
