Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

This book is a true gem-- there is something in it that will make every child giggle during the course of reading it every time! There is obvious humor and subtle humor, so it appeals to all kids from ages 3 or 4 to about 8-ish easily.

The other upside is that the adult reading it will also have a chuckle!

This is my second purchase of this title. I recently bought one for my grandson because his mother loved it when she was a little girl. He liked it too, so I bought one for my house, to read to him or other visiting children. It's a great book!

This book is wonderful! I love the story line and it's so much fun to read to my younger classes. I was so pleased with this book!!! If you didn't read it as a child, you definately should read it as an adult. Great book!!!

I liked the idea of the book when I bought it for my nephew. I have not given it to him yet since it is for Christmas so I don't know if he likes it or not. I like the illustrations and story line, but wish it was a little more... I don't know. I just felt like there was something missing to the story, but it was overall a cute book that I think any child would enjoy reading. It gets the imaginaton flowing.

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."
