Description - The Quiet Book by Deborah Underwood

A celebration of quiet moments from 'lollipop quiet" to "hide-and-seek quiet" There are many kinds of quiet: Quiet can be delicate. Quiet can be thundering! Quiet can be sweet, and cozy, and can most definitely help you fall asleep. With kid-centric descriptions and irresistible artwork, this gentle picture book explores all the different quiets that can fill a child's days from morning to night. AGES:3-5 AUTHOR Deborah Underwood has written many books for children. She loves cat-sleeping-on-your-stomach quiet and visiting lilacs-quiet. REVIEWS "This gentle picture book subtly explores the many different kinds of "quiet." Bears, rabbits, porcupines, mice, owls, moose, and wombats are depicted in situations that effectuate the notion of quiet throughout the daily life of a young child...A delightful and enchanting choice for story time or sharing one-on-one."--School Library Journal, starred review "The most moving scenes leave space for imagining. "Best friends don't need to talk," for example, is illustrated with a blissful scene of togetherness that children will relate to their own lives."--Booklist "There are many kinds of quiet," Underwood (Pirate Mom) writes, and this treasure of a book--which is appropriately gentle in both its understated text and artwork--catalogues many sorts of quiet that readers will recognize instantly...Underwood's taxonomy of quiet will evoke soft smiles from listeners who are getting ready for a "bedtime kiss" quiet (and possibly, even later, for "What flashlight?" quiet).--Publishers Weekly
