Summary: delightfully funny book great for primary classrooms
Review: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a delightfully funny book for children of all ages. I have used it in my second grade classroom for several years. The children love reading the book and always enjoy selecting their favorite weather in Chewandswallow. A creative teacher or parent can come up with many activities to go along with the book to aide in the children's learning

Summary: One of those weird kid books that keep you going...
Review: I remember the day well. It was a Friday, Library Day, and I was in the first grade. For reasons unknown to me, the librarian came to us, with about 50 books in tow. Each week she had a different book du'jour, and "Chance of Meatballs" was this week's. I remember her reading the book and my realizing how odd books like this are my life blood.
That book, I'm sure, added to my creative mind, and if it wasn't written, the world would be a considerably dull place, would'nt you agree?

Summary: Superbly absurd children's book for 4-6 year olds & parents
Review: When my first child was an infant, a friend told me to select book for her that I would enjoy reading myself, because she
would demand that they be read time and again. 19 years later
I can still read Cloudy with a Chabce of Meatballs and laugh.
Imagine a place where there are no food stores, and where the food falls from the sky! Eggs over easy in the morning
with a drizzle of OJ... you get the idea. Great illustrations,
great sense of the absurd. I can understadn how a kid could come up with a book like this, but you really have to wonder (in the most positive sense) at an adult who does.

Summary: Weather forecasting takes on a new meaning...
Review: I came to review this book because out the hundreds of picture books I read as a child, this remains my favourite. I still love it! It is the kind of book you re-read to study the pictures in more detail. Children can easily add their own imagination to what kinds of food would fall from the sky. As a child, I was never sure that Chew-and-swallow did not exist somewhere in the world...

Summary: really quirky!
Review: This book is fun and entertaining not only for the children that read it, or are having it read to them, but it is for the adults as well. I read this a Children's Librarian and this book not only provides wonderful illustrations but laughs as well. I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys fun books. Just thinking about it the book, I think I know what I'll be getting it for my oldest niece! Enjoyable, fun, and beautiful! Must have, I believe it would make a Great Bedtime Story!

Summary: 666 STARS!!! A FAVORITE BOOK FROM MY CHILDHOOD
Review: i GENRALLY GIVE RATINGS OF 666 STARS TO MY FAVORITE ALBUMS (MOST OF THEM BEING METAL I FIND IT APPROPRIATE) BUT FOR THIS BOOK I MUST MAKE IT PAINFULLY APPARENT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST WORKS OF FICTION AND ILLUSTRAION EVER PLACED BETWEEN A FRONT AND BACK COVER.
A GRANDFATHER TELLS HIS GRANDCHILDREN THE STORY OF THE ILLFATED TOWN OF CHEWANDSWALLOW, LOCATED IN A REIGION WITH SOME BIZZARRE WEATHER. HALF THE BOOK SHOWS THE TOWN THRIVING, WITH IT'S RROFLESS RESTAURANTS AND PIE IN THE SKY COMING DOWN. THE LATTER HALF IS THE DOWNFALL OF CHEWANDSWALLOW, WHERE PANDEMONIUM IS THE FORECAST AND A RAIN OF TERROR AND PEASOUP FOG, DRIVES IT'S RESIDENTS FAR AWAY ON BOATS OF BREAD.
THE STORY ITSELF IS PURE GENIUS AND THE ILLUSTRAIONS ARE LIKE NO OTHER BOOK I CAN RECALL. IM GOING TO GO TO MY PARENTS HOUSE TONIGHT AND FIND IT.

Summary: More different than I expected.
Review: If you like the word "the" you will really enjoy this book. This book is fille with all sorts of great words like "the" and "and". I find that words really help the story develop. Oh yeah - the pictures are also good. By using lines and stuff - they are able to make the paper resemble something that looks familiar. The book does not contain meatballs - but there are pictures of meatballs.
