Summary: Read this book over and over again
Comment: 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: First-Class Fun!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Tickles a child's sense of silliness!
Comment: This is a funny book with an imaginative concept--the people of the town CHEWANDSWALLOW eats what drops from the sky--orange juice rain, pancakes floating down, hamburgers on a stormy day. The climate goes awry and the people set sail on stale bread boats to move to a world where food is bought in the supermarket. The illustrations are very funny, moving from line drawings in black and white to lovely colored illustrations as the fantasy story begins. This story appeals to a wide range of ages, from 3 to 7 or 8. The text would be challenging for a first grade reader but the concept appeals to pre-schoolers as well as older kids.
