The titular cracking sound leads us out of bed on a winter night. Joined by the bear, the rabbit, the beaver, and the squirrel through the cold woods, we finally arrive at an enormous egg, which hatches before our eyes into the explosive arrival of spring. A somewhat whimsical narrative with an exciting, emotional climax.

Shelley's illustrations feel reiminiscent of Sibylle von Olfers, the early 20-century children's book author. The overall impression is magical and whimsical, but the small details are touchingly realistic. The landscape is very cool and icy until the vibrant explosion of spring, which feels like a visual relief.… (mais)

Saddest book I've ever read. Very hard to read as the mother of boys, but once I started, I had to finish. Very well written. Would be great book to open discussion on making good decisions. Heart breaking.

Even though this was a real quick read, I love how the ending tells us all that we are born from a dying star and that we are all connected with each other in some form or another. It’s so sweet and it made me feel better.

A readers series about Natural places in America: one sentence facts about the length, animals, and number of hikers are set out to inform the reader about the Appalachian Trail. The illustrations include some people of color. Watercolor illustrations accompany the explanation of the Appalachian Trail.
Since it is a level one reader, the typeface is large, and there are short sections of text on each or every other page. More difficult words are spelled out phonetically. The last page includes interesting facts about the trail for an advanced reader. This series could entice those interested in the natural beauty of America in 2nd grade.
