Summary: Funny to a point
Review: My kids thought this book started really funny. However, before too long they were losing interest as it was a little too wordy. The concept is great and the weather descriptions were funny to me, but a little above their heads. I think it would be better for children older than 7.

Summary: My favorite, of ALL my daughter's books
Review: CLOUDY... is, bar none, my favorite of all my daughter's books, including the classic WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE and the beautiful STELLALUNA. We read this book over and over and over, and will soon need to upgrade to the library-bound edition.CLOUDY... is wonderfully illustrated, with a sparsely colored engravure style that draws the eye to its wonderful detail. The story of the little town that gets its food from the sky is certain to draw in the most jaded or adult reader. It is silly and entertaining and never, ever tiresome or simple. Simply put, this book is a must-buy and sure to be a classic on your bookshelf; as another reviewer said: it's delicious!

Summary: Yummy Rain
Review: This is a wonderful and fun children's book. In the town of Chewandswallow no one has to go to the grocery store, because food falls from the sky. The entire town is fed from the rain. It gets overwhelming and the townspeople begin to worry, but everything turns out for the best in the end. Note to Teachers: I used this book when student teaching kindergarten. It is perfect to introduce the four food groups, and the food pyramid. We drew our favorite food, and put them in the right place on the food pyramid. We had a blast.

Summary: Timeless Classic!
Review: I first read the book ten years ago, when I was in first grade. I have loved the book ever since. The story allows children to really use their imagination and see the people of the town of Chewandswallow living an everyday life filled with high-calorie weather, even without looking at the marvelously drawn illustrations. I just saw the book reviewed today on "Reading Rainbow," and I decided I must get this book, because it is a timeless classic. I was unaware, also, that a sequel, "Pickles to Pittsburgh," was published, so now I have double the fun to read!

Summary: A Universal Fantasy
Review: Some of us may be lucky enough never to have to worry about the next meal, but our genes must always be anxious, realizing, as our frivolous brains may not, that food is a need, and its source is a concern. *Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,* a funny, engaging, sophisticated little tale, plays with that hard-wired anxiety. In the town of Chewandswallow, food comes with the weather. "Everything that everyone ate came from the sky." It rains soup and juice and thunderstorms hamburgers. People are always ready for the next inundation of pie or chicken with plates and cutlery, and the town has a clever and ecologically sound way of dealing with leftovers. Then, alas, the weather turns bad. To my children's glee, a giant flapjack closes down the school. And one day there are "fifteen-inch drifts of cream cheese and jelly sandwiches." The people must move and learn about stores. Such is life. *Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs* is a delight. The illustrations radiate humor and add to the story immeasurably (I can't forget the deer standing in the sunset with lamb-chops and potatoes skewered on their antlers). Illustrations and text will fill parents and children with a marvellous fantasy of food -- and quell, for a moment, the anxieties of those food-oriented genes.

Summary: First-Class Fun!
Review: This is one book that bridges the generation gap. There are many books in my son's library that elicit a groan in me when he chooses them during our nightly story reading, but "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" certainly isn't one of them. From the absurd tall-tale to the fabulously detailed drawings, each time we read this book we find something new to discuss. Due to the fact that my son is only three and a half, and not able to understand much of the subtle humor of the illustrations, I know this book will have a very long shelf-life at our house as he starts "getting" more and more of the punchlines throughout the years. In the meantime, he is fascinated by the pancake that Grandpa flips onto Henry's head and the giant jello setting in the sky after dinner one night in the delicious land of Chewandswallow.
