Synopsis
Grab your plates! In the land of Chewandswallow, meals - rather than rain or snow - fall from the sky. But something goes awry: the food falling from the sky gets larger and larger, causing the residents to make an escape before being squashed by giant pancakes or rolls. Ron Barrett dishes up some droll art work in this zany tall tale.
Annotation
Life is delicious in the town of Chewandswallow where it rains soup and juice, snows mashed potatoes, and blows storms of hamburgers--until the weather takes a turn for the worse.

About Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Parents need to know that the rambling text may put off younger readers. This book is more successful as a read-alone, so kids can spend more time pondering the information-rich illustrations and silly story.
