New York: Atheneum, 1978

My favorite book has not changed since age 3, when I
first discovered Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
I love that as a children’s librarian I get to introduce
future generations to this book, especially when I read it
during the Wacky Weather storytime. It is followed by
a craft in which we pick the foods we would want to
come down from the sky, if we lived in the land of
Chewandswallow.
