Mama Mia!
It’s likely you’ve visited the little town of Chewandswallow during nightly bedtime stories and fans of Judi Barret’s absurdist tall-tale Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs will be interested to know that Sony Pictures Animation has just released the trailer for their movie adaptation. It’s always hit and miss with pictures adapted from literary favorites and I was a little disappointed to see that there was no reference to Ron Barrett’s great book illustrations - but nonetheless, you’ll probably find me in the audience this September. Check out the full length trailer below or view it here.
And what’s a meatball without some spaghetti? I came across these fantastic 1957 pictures and film footage from the BBC of that year’s Swiss spaghetti harvest. Check out the video from the news show Panorama below or view it here. Read more about spaghetti harvesting here.

Oh My Gosh! I bought this book a few years ago when I was expecting my first–because I loved it as a child–and to my delight, she requests it regularly at bedtime. She will be over the moon with joy when I tell her it’s going to be a movie!!!
