This is one of my favorite children's book. The art is awesome, and the writing amusing and entertaining.

One of the best children's books ever. The concept of weather providing food is so fun and clever and silly it just captures the imagination! The illustrations are just perfect for the story as well. My kids love this one and so do I!

This is a funny story...I used it as a paired book with a non-fiction weather book to talk about the differences between fiction and nonfiction.

If you want to read a quirky picturebook to your kids then I would recommend this one!

The tastiest tale ever about food falling from the sky that becomes so large and dangerous people fear for their lives. It's a rare kid's book these days that doesn't have a pat moral or conventional story arc; I enjoyed the shaggy dog story-within-a-story non-plot and the fun illustrations, which are chock full of silly food puns.

A grandpa shares a tall tale about the land of Chewandswallow, where everyone gets their food from the sky: rain of soup and juice, snow of peas and mashed potatoes, and tornadoes of ketchup.
A classic picture book that will get kids laughing and thinking about all the imaginary possibilities of food falling from the sky. A good choice for reading aloud to a classroom (preschool to grade 2).

Should never have been turned into a movie. One of my most favorite childhood books ever.

One of my favorite books as a child. I still find it hilarious! (The movie is pretty great too, despite having little resemblance to the book.)
