Sweetly and beautifully explores the many types of quiet in a child's world. The illustrations are appropriately soft and quiet, complementing the text nicely. (

Very creative, nicely illustrated, and a good story with short simple phrases (

Hard to read quietly, because you'll be too busy laughing. Love it. (

A great book for teaching how narrative can progress through images even when there is not much of a narrative (or any narrative, really) in the text.

This was really adorable! I like how kids can relate to all the little quiet moments and really place themselves in the scenes. The artwork makes the characters look all cuddly, too. (
