Crunch and Crack, Oink and Whack!

An Onomatopoeia Story

  • Interest Level: Grade 2 - Grade 5
  • Reading Level: Grade 3

Rhyming verse from Brian P. Cleary presents the fictional Clip-Clop Elementary School’s celebration of “Onomatopoeia Day.” Enthusiastic young students make their way from band room (Rattle! Boom! Twang!) to the gym (Whiff! Whack! Swish!) to the science lab (Hiss! Spurt! Ding!) and beyond. Brief back matter offers additional examples of onomatopoeias—words that imitate sounds.

Reviews

School Library Journal

“The emphasis placed on the sounds of words and the rhythm of the language is naturally suited for reading aloud, while the content works well for elementary students learning about the parts of speech.”—School Library Journal

Booklist

“[A] good thematic companion for Cleary’s other grammar and language arts–themed picture books.”—Booklist
