Summary: This is a cute story about a grandpa that takes his grandkids to the city of Chewandswallow. In this incredible city, the weather is different from any other city. The weather comes three times a day, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When it rains its juice and soup, for snow it snows ice cream and when there’s wind, it brings in hamburgers. One day, there is a big flood that forces the people in Chewandswallow to leave the city of boats of bread and go to a place where the weather doesn’t bring food for them.
Reaction: I thought this was a cute book. I had forgotten what happened in it, and rereading it brought back many fun childhood memories of my family and I acting out this story (and then later getting in trouble for it.) It’s a fun book that all children know and love.
Recommendation: I’d definitely recommend this book to children, but probably ones younger than 8. I don’t think that the older kids would want to read this book.
Potential Problems/Conflicts: I didn’t have any problems with this book. It’s one that we all read when we were little, and especially now that the book has turned into a movie, its created a more interesting twist to the book.
