Summary: Read this book over and over again
Review: The town of Chewandswallow is a wonderful place to live. No one has to cook because the food, like manna to the children of Israel, falls from the sky. The weather report is the daily menu. I read this book to my oldest two children 10 years ago. It is one that left a mark on them and further fueled their love of reading. I couldn't wait for my younger two to be old enough to hear it. We read it for the first time last night and they loved it. I can tell this is going to be a favorite of theirs as well. The copy I checked out at the library was published in 1978. I hope that one day soon, they republish the book and make the illustrations more vivid.

Summary: My favorite book as a child
Review: This was one of my Top-10 favorite books as a child. I cant tell you how many times I read it. The illustrations are great; very similar in many ways to Tony Millionaire's work (Maakies and Sock Monkey). If you're looking for a childrens' book as a gift, buy Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. In fact, next time I go to my parents house, I'm digging it out of the attic.

Summary: Delicious! :)
Review: Can you imagine a place where food falls from the sky as naturally as rain and snow? Where ballgames are cancelled because of pie and people watch the weather to find out what their meals will be for the next few days? In the village of Chewandswallow life is just that. Food falls from the skies, the people are fed and life is just ducky. :) But then something goes terribly wrong, it seems that the weather has gone crazy. Giant meatballs and enomorous spaghetti noodles clutter the highways, schools are trapped beneath huge pancakes. Can the people of Chewandswallow grow used to this craziness that has captured the normalcy of their home or will they be forced to leave? All I can tell you is that this book is delicious and totally charming. :)

Summary: Am I the only one who hated this book?
Review: The only thing good I can say about this book, was that the artwork was awesome.
If the author stopped describing food... oh, about 8 pages into it, it might've held my interest. The author goes on and on and on, describing food. I kept thinking, "Alright, already! We get the idea! FOOD IS FALLING FROM THE SKY!!!"
A nice idea ruined by long, boring text and a *horrible* ending.

Summary: A wacky world
Review: I think this is a very great book. It may be wacky, but I still think that it is good. The author did a very good job of creating a world that was totally different from where they were. He did a good job of setting up for it by what happened at breakfast. It is a very "delicious" book. It has many whimsical events that take place. It is an adventurous book that will keep the reader's interest. It certainly kept mine. I liked how after the tall tale ended, they thought that the hill smelled like mashed potatoes. That made for a very good ending. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a wacky, but yet good, book to read.

Summary: This book brought not only meatballs, but laughter too
Review: This book will definetily bring a smile to your face. The author and illustrator both did an exceptional job at creating a fantasy world. The book begins with a grandpa telling his grandchildren a usual bedtime story. However, the story takes a wild turn as the book begins to unfold. The grandpa describes a very unusual town with very unusual weather. See in this town, the sky supplied all the food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all came from the sky. As I began to read, I couldn't wait to flip the pages and find out what kind of food the weather would bring that day. Your imagination goes wild as you try to envision yourself running about trying to catch your lunch as it falls from the sky. The illustrations are great. Now, you would think that this whole food falling from the sky thing would be a pretty good idea. But, is it? Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is definetily a book that is worth while to read. It will always remain one of my all time favorite children's books.

Summary: A Classic!!
Review: This was my FAVORITE book as a child. I am now 26, and to this day the subtle humor and hilarious illustrations have stuck with me. I am about to become an aunt, and this is a book that I definitely want to share with my niece or nephew. The best part is, I believe that parents will thoroughly ENJOY this book along with their child. Everyone had a book or two that shaped their childhood, and got them interested in reading, and this was mine!

Summary: A wonderful & imaginative story
Review: I first read this book when I was 9 & remember thinking that Chewandswallow was a real place. I still have my copy of it. I loved the silly nature of this story would daydream while looking at all the details of the pictures. This is a great book for young imaginations. Now that I have my own daughter, I look forward to sharing this book with her (even though she's only 7 months old!)
