Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs


Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a picture book written by Judi Barrett and illustrated by Ron Barrett. It contains 32 pages. The book also won the Georgia Book Award.

"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."

--Follett Library Resources; http://flr.follett.com

This is a great children’s book. It makes the reader use their imagination. The book is great for children because they can learn to use their imagination, and they could dream of a place like the town in the story.

Students should draw their imaginary town and write a story to present to class.
