A few months ago a friend, who is also a bookseller, told me about The Quiet Book. The title only partly tells you about this special book. Inside it is truly magical.
It is a series of little scenes from early morning until late at night showing all the times we experience quiet and all the ways we experience it too.
Here are some :
Coloring in the lines quiet
Last one to get picked up from school quiet
Making a wish quiet
Best friends don’t need to talk quiet
Before the concert starts quiet
Story time quiet
Bedtime kiss quiet
“What flashlight?” quiet
Sound asleep quiet
The illustrations depict quirky little animals like bears, a porcupine, moose and rabbit all done in soft brown and grey tones with an occasional tiny touch of colour.
This book would make wonderful gift for a young child and it is a perfect book to share with that same young child either quietly or with some gentle conversation about each scene.
Stylish, funny, yet sympathetic, this should be a popular bedtime book. Quill and Quire
It is in our school library along with the companion volume The Loud Book. You might also enjoy The Important book and Another Important book by Margaret Wise Brown and If you listen by Charlotte Zolotow.
