Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

I had to read this before the movie came out! Grandpa opens the story explaining about the town of Chewandswallow where it rains food, in the form of meals, three times a day. Any mess is cleaned up immediately after the "rain" or "snow." It is a perfect situation for the residents until something weird happens. The portions become too large, the choices aren't as yummy. Slowly the town begins to fill with food and the people are trying to decide if they should stay or go.
