About the Book
In Chewandswallow, meals rain from the sky at appropriate times of the day, but a change in the weather blows in massive problems. "Prediction: Children dreaming up their own weather menus are sure to follow up on the fun."--"Booklist." A "New York Times" Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year. Three-color illustrations.Book Synopsis
An imaginative story of amazing food weather that inspired the hit movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a favorite of grown-ups and children everywhere. The tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny town--except for its weather which came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But it never rained rain and it never snowed snow and it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup and juice. It snowed things like mashed potatoes. And sometimes the wind blew in storms of hamburgers. Life for the townspeople was delicious until the weather took a turn for the worse. The food got larger and larger and so did the portions. Chewandswallow was plagued by damaging floods and storms of huge food. The town was a mess and the people feared for their lives. Something had to be done, and in a hurry.About The Author

This book has stuck with me from childhood! It was the first book I bought to share with my kids before I even had them! It's now my kids favorite book that my 4 & 5 year old ask me to read at least once a week! We love the illustrations, we have to pause many times while reading because they want to look at the many creative details in the pictures! This book is a wonderfully imaginative story that the whole family will enjoy! My 14 year old will even join us for story time when he knows I'm reading this book! Hope you enjoy it as much as my family has for generations!
