Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a modern fantasy about the town of Chewandswallow. The town gets all its food from the sky. It rains soup, snows mashed potatoes, and has hamburger storms. Everything was great until the weather started to get out of control. Spaghetti flooded the street and a giant pancake engulfed the school. It got so bad that the people sailed to safety on huge pieces of bread.
The concept of this book is creative and fun for children. The art really makes this book though. The ink hatching technique is so detailed that you could stop and look at each picture for ten minutes and still find something new. This is a beautiful and imaginative tale that all should read.
