I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Great colorful pictures. Fun sounds and story. Explains well the concept of a onomatopoeia.

Great picture book for the Kinder through third grade reader. Clark’s book has brightly colored, engaging illustrations by Pablo Pina that will keep the attention of young readers/listeners as the rhyming text teaches the figurative language device of onomatopoeia. Kids will enjoy making the noises as they read. Highly recommended for reading classrooms and school libraries.

I thought this book was great! Cant wait to let my friends and know about it! Would make a great gift! Thank you netgalley for the free arc in exchange for an honest review!

Crunch and Crack, Oink and Whack! was written by Brian P. Cleary and illustrated by Pablo Pino.
Summary: Ms. Garcia’s class is on the hunt for onomatopoeias! They search the school and nearby grounds to collect as many as they can, then bring them back to class to share with everyone else.
My Thoughts: This is a really fun book. There is a cute rhyme throughout the story, and tons of great examples of sound words. The pictures are wonderfully illustrated, and the whole book just WORKS.
My favorite part, is that this book shows how fun learning can be! I really enjoyed it, and it is a perfect introduction for kids to the onomatopoeia. I would like to thank Lerner Publishing Group for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you!

This is a fantastic book to use to introduce onomatopoeia! In the book it’s onomatopoeia day, and the kids have to find examples of sound words in school. I would definitely add this to my figurative language unit!

I received an electronic copy from Millbrook Press through NetGalley.
Terrific book to teach about Onomatopoeia. The kids in Ms. Garcia's class go on a hunt to find examples of onomatopoeia all around the school and surrounding area.
Brightly colored, realistic illustrations support the text and help the reader locate examples as well.

The colorful illustrations are the best part of this book. The story, while illuminating the concept, uses the word “and” too frequently for my taste and the meter feels disjointed.

One of the best educational books in print to introduce young readers to the world of Onomatopoeia. The illustrations are colorful and fit the text perfectly. I adored that the story took place in a classroom setting. I feel it will help young students to learn how fun school can be if they just look around and think about the different ways to learn. Listen to the sounds of the mechanics around you.

The ending of the book is a treasure for teachers. The author has listed to words by categories of animal noises, human noises, and mechanical noises. It would be the perfect reference/anchor chart for the classroom.

I see this as a great Christmas present for my teacher friends.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Lerner Publishing Group through NetGalley. Any and all opinions expressed in the above review are entirely my own.

Reading this book reminded me of how onomatopoeia makes reading out loud so much fun. Although not as silly as the Dr. Seuss classic “Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?”; “Crunch and Clack, Oink and Whack!” uses everyday situations to showcase those words that sound like the word they represent. This book might be too advanced for two or three year olds, but it is a perfect fit for kids who have gotten a little too old for “Mr. Brown.”

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Very cute storybook. Bright pictures and fun words as the kids in a classroom explore the sounds around their school grounds. Their teacher encourages them to explore and match the sounds to words. Creative!
