Weather with a menu

In Chewandswallow, the weather arrives at mealtimes—and falls as soup, juice, mashed potatoes, and other foods. That fanciful premise turns an everyday subject into the engine of a comic picture-book adventure. When the food grows enormous and storms begin causing damage, the town’s unusual climate becomes a practical problem for its residents. The book pairs playful food imagery with a simple escalation from novelty to trouble, making weather and its effects the organizing ideas of the story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books
  • Families looking for an imaginative story built around food and weather

Book overview

The classic children's book and inspiration behind a hit animated film, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a whimsical and imaginative picture book that has delighted generations of readers.

The tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny town--except for its weather which came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

But it never rained rain and it never snowed snow and it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup and juice. It snowed things like mashed potatoes. And sometimes the wind blew in storms of hamburgers.

Life for the townspeople was delicious until the weather took a turn for the worse. The food got larger and larger and so did the portions. Chewandswallow was plagued by damaging floods and storms of huge food. The town was a mess and the people feared for their lives.

Something had to be done, and in a hurry.
