Product Description
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?
Ingram
In Chewandswallow, meals rain from the sky at appropriate times of the day, but a change in the weather blows in massive problems. "Prediction: Children dreaming up their own weather menus are sure to follow up on the fun."--Booklist. A New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year. Three-color illustrations.

Tickles a child's sense of silliness!,
By
This review is from: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (Paperback)
This is a funny book with an imaginative concept--the people of the town CHEWANDSWALLOW eats what drops from the sky--orange juice rain, pancakes floating down, hamburgers on a stormy day. The climate goes awry and the people set sail on stale bread boats to move to a world where food is bought in the supermarket. The illustrations are very funny, moving from line drawings in black and white to lovely colored illustrations as the fantasy story begins. This story appeals to a wide range of ages, from 3 to 7 or 8. The text would be challenging for a first grade reader but the concept appeals to pre-schoolers as well as older kids.

Wonderful Weather,
By
This review is from: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (Paperback)
I remember this book coming out when I was in primary school and it made one of the most lasting impressions to my memory. After trying to remember what the name of it was, I was much delighted that doing a search for "Food Weather" yielded the answer I had long ago forgotten.
This book is a wonderful little story about a "made up" town and its peculiar weather patterns. The illustrations are wondefully rendered (the giant donuts were what I remembered most vividly) and the story is just right for beinning readers. I truly enjoyed this book as a child and I look forward to teaching my son to read this one. Yummy.

Wonderfully creative art and story! It sure beats raining cats and dogs!,
By Betty L. Dravis "BETTY DRAVIS, author/reviewer" (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (Paperback)
This book is one of the most amusing kid's story I've ever read. The author must have had a double dose of imagination when she wrote this little gem. While I liked the old black-and-white illustrations, these new colored ones are simply awesome.
What sounds like a lot of fun to the kids in the town of Chewandswallow (food raining from the sky) actually turns out rather distrastrous! A hilarious, unforgettable adventure! There's something to be said for the good ol' supermarket, after all. But RFY (read for yourself)! I guarantee this book will "rain" smiles and laughs down on you. It certainly beats raining cats and dogs! I loooooooove it ... as do my grandchildren! For kids of ALL ages, including grandparents and politicians!
