Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

That was in 1983 and we've been looking for it in childrens' bookshops ever since. Everyone with children should have a copy of this and I'm overjoyed to be able to order it for mine - nearly 20 years since I last read it. This is a truly memorable book and to this day, I still can't look at maple syrup pancakes without smiling and thinking of them smothering the ChewandSwallow school. Happy days are here again...

My mom started reading me this book when I was 3 years old. I have loved it ever since. I am now 17. My book eventually became really beat up so we had to throw it away. I decided to find me another copy of it a few days ago so I will have one to read to my kids after I get married. I highly recommend this book for parents to give their kids or parents that would like to get in touch with their childhood again.

Like some of the other reviewers I had read this book as a child. I think of now and again and just recently I was inspired to have my own copy again. My original is long gone and hopefully someone else is enjoying the wonderful story and illustrations as much as I did and still do. I can't wait to receive my new copy in the mail! I recommend this book to any child or adult. This book spurs the imagination and stays with you for years. Please recommend to anybody who will cherish it. I found out that a close friend also read the book growing up, a friend that I have known for 3 years. I will definitely read this book to my children and to my classroom. I am anxiously awaiting to read the sequel: Pickles to Pittsburgh.

I was a second-grader when my mother bought this book for me (that was 20 years ago). I remember reading it over and over, laughing so hard I cried. This book is engaging and creatively written--it certainly inspired my 7-year-old imagination! Though I lost the book years ago, I've never forgotten about it. Now I'm buying a copy for my children.


lovely book!   December 4, 1998

I love to browse the children's section and I found this book. I do not have children yet, but want this book to keep for them. It is filled with imagination and creativity and beautiful illustrations. The world is a better place because of this book.
