Reviews
At the Clip-Clop Country School for Girls and Boys, Onomatopoeia Day comes once a year. Every year, the students in Ms. Garcia's class get to search around the school for onomatopoeias--a word whose name imitates the sound it makes. In the workshop, they find buzz and whirr; in the band room, they hear rat-tat-tat and boom; in the science lab, they encounter gurgle and hiss. When the day gets too exciting, an onomatopoeia finds them: the principal sticks her head in Ms. Garcia's door and says, 'SHOOSH!' Pino's boldly colored, energetic illustrations showcase kids from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, having fun while learning. The in-text onomatopoeia themselves are clearly marked, and back matter is thorough and well laid out. The rhyme and rhythm of the text doesn't always scan, which could make this a challenge to read aloud--an unfortunate quirk, given the subject matter. Still, the story itself is abundantly classroom friendly, and this is a good thematic companion for Cleary's other grammar and language arts-themed picture books. --Booklist --Journal
[A] good thematic companion for Cleary's other grammar and language arts-themed picture books. --Booklist -- (1/24/2019 12:00:00 AM) 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 -- (6/14/2019 12:00:00 AM)
