Home Teaching - Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs is an American tell tale written by Judi Barrett.   The story was about a town called ChewanSwallow, whereby the sky rained food 3 times a day.   The residents need not buy or sell food.   Life was beautiful and wonderful till mother nature got sick and cooked up a storm of food.   The residents had to leave ChewanSwallow to another town where they had to work to buy food.   The absurdity and craziness in this story definitely bring joy to readers and stimulate imagination.
