Picture Book


Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is a children's picture book that was written by Judi Barrett and illustrated by Ron Barrett. The book shows what life is like in the town of Chewandswallow where food literally rains from the sky. Everything seems perfect until the weather takes a turn for the worse, and the town is damaged by the floods and storms of food that's gotten bigger and bigger. Originally published in 1982, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is perfect for elementary-age students in Language Arts who are studying setting, characters, plot, and especially conflict. This book could also be used in elementary science classes as part of a study of climate and weather. Barrett, Judi. (1982). Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Aladdin.
