Great book!

2008-07-22
Love this book! I remember borrowing this book from the library when I was growing up and I had to share it with my children. My 2 boys really enjoy this book, especially when the food is gigantic. I would highly recommend this book for children of all ages.

This is one of my favorite children's books. I loved it as a child and now that I have a child of my own, I wanted to share it with her.

What a clever and funny book with great illustrations with subtle details.

This is a must own book for your little ones. It's one book you won't get sick of reading.

A book I read as a child and now my children adore!

As a young girl I read this book over and over, picturing myself as a citizen of Chew-and-Swallow, a town where it rains tomato soup and hot dogs, pancakes and eggs over easy, orange juice and spaghetti with meatballs.
I loved the detailed illustrations and the humor. And now-I won't say how many years later-as I read it to my children, the enjoy it as much as I ever did.
It's a true gem of a read, one that I will keep long after my children become adults. I'll be able to read it and picture myself as the little girl I was-so in awe of the creativity, the concept itself- and the young mother I was, enjoying it with her children.

Very interesting book if your kid loves food

My son loves food very much. He is hooked after I read it to him the first time. Very creative story. However, I dont like the black and white pictures. But it doesnt seem to bother my son.

Makes you hungry..lol

I love the imagination that this book sparks. I can read it over and over again. My daughter loves the illustrations and she laughs every time I read it at the silliness of it all. Awesome book.

Really good story

If food dropped like rain from the sky, wouldn't it be marvelous! Or would it? It could, after all, be messy. And you'd have no choice. What if you didn't like what fell? Or what if too much came? Have you ever thought of what it might be like to be squashed flat by a pancake?

One of my all time favorites!

I loved this book as a kid and now own it and read it to my kids. I love everything about it (the pictures and the story).

Seriously ? Five Stars ?

2008-03-08
I can't believe this book has 5 stars. . I'm so confused. I bought this book for my kids for Christmas after reading the rave reviews...and I can't express how completely disappointed I am. Rather than being "whimsical" the book was more "disturbing" with a touch of "nauseating". After I read this book to my six year old she offered to take it to her school and donate it to the school library. . . that oughta tell you something.

Great Book!

This is an all around great book! We have loved reading this book over and over. It brings a smile to your face and lifts you up! As authors ourselves, it is inspirational to see books written by other authors.

Loved it Then and Now

2008-02-13
This book is my proclaimed favorite book of all my childhood. I read this book so much that I had to buy a replacement for it when I was 18 because the original was falling apart. I cannot wait for the birth of my daughter so I can read to her about the silly story of a town that receives its food from the sky until the weather makes a turn for the worse. The pictures still crack me up, and the detail is quite nice. As I grew older I searched for different foods and hidden details in the illustrations. I always liked the length of this book, because most bedtime stories seemed too short for me. I grew up an avid reader from a family with little time or money to keep me occupied, getting my amusement from books.
