Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
by
Judi Barrett
Book Description:
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a classic children’s story of an ordinary family who lives in the extraordinary town of
Chewandswallow where, like meals, the weather comes three times a day. What makes this quaint town different than any other is that
the weather always arrives in the form of food – the snow is mashed potatoes, the rain is made of soup and the wind blows in clouds of
hamburgers from the sky. But what happens when the weather gets out of control? The town of Chewandswallow must figure out what to do when faced with a storm that turns the town into a smorgasbord of an edible mess.

“As a parent, I know that reading with your child is an important part of their mental and emotional development,” said Mrs. Blagojevich. “I started this program to encourage parents to read with their children, and I hope our recommended reading list helps parents find books that the whole family can enjoy.”
