Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Classic Board Books)

Product Information

The date Chester needed to reach the FLDSMDFR to avoid missing the release deadline for Food Bar 8.0. The town of Chewandswallow has some wild weather, bringing meals like burgers, spaghetti, mashed potatoes, and of course meatballs three times a day. Then, things start to go crazy and odd things start happening, like an entire day of just gargonzola cheese and eventually a "tomato tornado" and the poor sanitation department could no longer keep up. This book uses such fun language to describe weather effects, like drizzle, clearings, and downpour. The language is delightful and the illustrations, while not overly colorful, are still detailed and fun. The absurdity and silliness in this story make it a joy to read and the combining of two familiar concepts, food and weather, into one story are sure to stoke the imagination. Kids of this age group will love the fanciful, over the top, giant ideas presented in this book.

Solution: The people of Chewandswallow survived in a new town, and Grandpa's story put the children to sleep!Tell students that when they are summarizing a story to somebody, they usually do not have the book available to look through as they are talking. Explain that you want them to write and draw their own summary of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs so that they can summarize the story to you and to their family members at home. Next, ask a student to tell you the story, with "just the important parts. Keep it short and sweet." Quite likely, the first child who tries this will provide too many details. Say, "Too many details!!! Someone else try. I want just a summary. Keep it short and sweet." Keep going until someone gives you a really nice, short summary. A few days later, there came a 15 inch drift of cream cheese and jam sandwiches that gave everyone indigestion and next day brought a salt and pepper wind accompanied by a tomato tornado.

This is a book about which I’ve always been curious so I’m really grateful it’s one of the June selections for the Picture Books group at the Children's Books group. The month’s theme is culinary. So far, this picture books group’s themes and books have all been wonderful! After Grandpa finishes making breakfast for the family - pancakes, which are incidentally, one of my favorites - he tells the children a story about a land far away where three times a day it rains food. All kinds of food: toast and jelly at breakfast, hot dogs for lunch, even lamb chops for supper. (This is decidedly NOT a vegan book.) Every day it's something different, but then something not-so-good happens... Begin by telling students a story with the title "The Worst Weather I Ever Experienced"—for example, a time you were caught in a hurricane, a snowstorm, or some such experience (the more death-defying, the better.) Make it as dramatic as possible. Make it a long story, with plenty of details.

The show clarifies that when Flint and Sam met in their adulthood in the first film, it was not their first meeting. They first met and became friends in high school. In the first episode, Flint says that if Sam ever has to move away from Swallow Falls, he will invent a memory eraser, as she had moved around frequently and did not want the memory of another lost friendship to sadden her.
