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?

 Weather Fantasy! October 9, 2008
The story comically portrays the lifestyles of the residents, showing their anticipation of the weather forecast, and their reluctance of leaving the house without plates or silverware! The meals are consistent, the restaurants are roofless, and the Sanitation Department must clear the roads after every meal. Perhaps the most charming aspect of the book is the forecast descriptions of the meals, stating, "For dinner one night there were lamb chops, becoming heavy at times, with occasional ketchup."

 Great for YOUNG Children October 4, 2008
I grew up with this story. It is great for young children. But if the child is over the Sesame Street age then it's too late.
The illustrations are cute and fun.
The only downside is that young children might like it too much and want it read all the time contributing to possible eating disorders.
What an Adorable Story ! September 30, 2008
This is delightful story that both parents and children will enjoy reading together. It is among my children's top favorite books along with Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Successand The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail, both with a bonus reading guide for parents written by teacher-authors.
A great classic August 24, 2008
This book is nothing but the silliest tall tale ever, about a town where food "falls from the sky", but it works.
My nieces really sit still for this one, which is sometimes a bit of an accomplishment :)
I will say that it goes on a bit long in parts, describing the way food falls from the sky, but it's not that big a deal to me.
Children's book August 16, 2008
"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" is a fanciful and entertaining book that I read to my children when they were young. I purchased one for my newest grandchild and my son was thrilled to have a book from his childhood to read to his daughter.
