Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs Review
User Submitted Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs ReviewsAugust 24, 2008 A great classic This book is nothing but the silliest tall tale ever, about a town where food "falls from the sky", but it works. My nieces really sit still for this one, which is sometimes a bit of an accomplishment :) I will say that it goes on a bit long in parts, describing the way food falls from the sky, but it's not that big a deal to me. August 16, 2008 Children's book "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" is a fanciful and entertaining book that I read to my children when they were young. I purchased one for my newest grandchild and my son was thrilled to have a book from his childhood to read to his daughter. August 6, 2008 Lousy presentation The story is great, but I am returning the item because the book jacket is awful. I ordered a hardcover, and the book itself has no picture or title on the cover, only the book jacket shows the cover. That alone is odd, but this jacket is as thin as a piece of paper! It won't survive one year in my classroom. I've never seen such cheap, lazy packaging in my life. The pages are also thin and tender, they aren't strong glossy pages like most books. As much as I love this story, it's not worth the money because it won't last. July 28, 2008 A timeless children's classic. Perfect. A great story well told and beautifully illustrated, in an appropriately sized format. Who doesn't fantasize about food? And how about food on a colossal scale? And as the weather itself? Good, good fun. July 22, 2008 Great book! Love this book! I remember borrowing this book from the library when I was growing up and I had to share it with my children. My 2 boys really enjoy this book, especially when the food is gigantic. I would highly recommend this book for children of all ages. July 17, 2008 All good things must come to an end This is one of my favorite children's books. I loved it as a child and now that I have a child of my own, I wanted to share it with her. What a clever and funny book with great illustrations with subtle details. This is a must own book for your little ones. It's one book you won't get sick of reading. June 26, 2008 A book I read as a child and now my children adore! As a young girl I read this book over and over, picturing myself as a citizen of Chew-and-Swallow, a town where it rains tomato soup and hot dogs, pancakes and eggs over easy, orange juice and spaghetti with meatballs. I loved the detailed illustrations and the humor. And now-I won't say how many years later-as I read it to my children, the enjoy it as much as I ever did. It's a true gem of a read, one that I will keep long after my children become adults. I'll be able to read it and picture myself as the little girl I was-so in awe of the creativity, the concept itself- and the young mother I was, enjoying it with her children. June 17, 2008 Very interesting book if your kid loves food My son loves food very much. He is hooked after I read it to him the first time. Very creative story. However, I dont like the black and white pictures. But it doesnt seem to bother my son. June 5, 2008 Makes you hungry..lol I love the imagination that this book sparks. I can read it over and over again. My daughter loves the illustrations and she laughs every time I read it at the silliness of it all. Awesome book. May 30, 2008 Really good story I bought this book, like so many others, for my nephews, who are almost 2 and 4. The pictures in the book were great but not quite as vibrant and colorful as those in some of their other books. I found the story to be quite good, but it was pretty wordy (which can be good if you're reading it to try to make somebody sleepy). So, overall, as an adult, I really liked this book, but I feel like the younger kids prefer books more like the ones they're used to--few words and colorful pictures. I'm hoping, though, that even if they don't fully appreciate it now, maybe they'll grow into it. I would definitely buy it again. For more Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs reviews click here.
