The addicting whimsy of an island where weather feeds your soul and fills you up, literally, makes this an instant classic and belongs on every shelf in America.

A classic must read fun with kids. Can you imagine living in a town where your food comes as the weather? This is the story a grandfather tells his grandkids and sets off their imaginations. Full of humor in both the text and illustrations, this is a good book for when you need a chuckle.
Also, the book story is not very similar to the movie

This is a wonderfully silly book. Although I'd heard of it previously, I hadn't read it as a child. It's a nice introduction to tall tales for children who are very literal-minded. It's provided a number of fun discussions about natural disasters, weather and food.
The illustrations are more cartoon than art, which is fine for this book. The text doesn't rhyme and reads aloud easily.
