Imagine food raining from the sky.  That is exactly what happens in Judi Barrett's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.  

This book is available at the St Charles City-County Library.  You can also find it as a read aloud on YouTube: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

You will find the book and the movie are very different.  The book was published in 1978 and the movie premiered in 2009.  Don't forget to read the book before you watch the movie!
