The town of Chewandswallow is just like any other
small town, except for the weather. It rains
soup and snows mashed potatoes. Sometimes the
wind blows in storms of hamburgers. Life for the
residents of Chewandswallow is delicious until
the weather takes a turn for the worse and they
are confronted with pea soup fog, a hurricane of
bread, and a deluge of spaghetti. When the
weather is expected to be cloudy, cook up a
chance of meatballs, cook up a batch of Marvelous
Mini-Meatballs for the whole class.
