"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs"

Ran across this movie trailer. Looks like a charming animated motion picture,
in theaters now. I'll wait and rent it, although 3-D would certainly be more
fun.

Ranée,

I on-line searched the county library system for the book but with no luck.

I'll step into a bookstore and have a look.

You have to wonder how a 32 page children's book can become a 1hr 21min
movie!?! Especially considering the book is mostly illustrations, from sample
pages I viewed at amazon.com.

Best,

Andy

Get the book at your local library. It's a cute picture book and you
won't ruin your movie experience.

Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Then take a hike down to your local elementary school's library! They
will have more than one copy and the k-1 teachers probably have more
than one copy in their classroom libraries too.

right.
