      À l'heure où la polémique fait rage – faut-il ou non manger les animaux ? –, il est bon de se poser aussi une autre question, plus légère : faut-il les habiller ? La réponse des Barrett est un NON catégorique. Pourquoi ? Regardez plutôt la girafe avec ses sept cravates, le porc-épic avec des trous partout, l'oeuf de la poule coincé dans son pantalon, et vous comprendrez et compatirez !

      The town of Chewandswallow is just like any other town, except that the weather supplies all the food the residents need. Whatever the sky serves is what they eat. The people watch the weather report to know what they will be eating the next day. Life is just grand—until the weather takes a turn for the worse, the food starts getting disgusting, and the portions grow too big to handle. Now its residents must abandon Chewandswallow and start over in a different town. But isn't it odd that in their new town, they have to purchase food in supermarkets? How will they ever get used to their new way of life? This funny and highly inventive story, with fantastically intricate illustrations, is a great pick for introducing weather concepts. A New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book, it's also the original book behind the major motion picture.
