The Quiet Book by Deborah UnderwoodMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
How many kinds of quiet are there? Have you ever pondered this question? Author Deborah Underwood has given a lot of thought to the matter. From “Coloring in the lines quiet” to “Lollipop quiet” and “Right before you yell “SURPRISE!” quiet”. Each account is illustrated beautifully with muted colors perfect for the calming theme. This would be a great was to encourage students to brainstorm how to act in certain situations or different reasons to behave a specific way. It is also a wonderful book to enjoy at bedtime or when preparing for a quiet activity.

"The soft, matte feel of the illustrations, created with pencil, are digitally enhanced, and are priceless. The animals’ facial expressions and body language are endearing. White space is used creatively to emphasize the mostly gray or brown palette. All of the scenarios are child-centric and realistic. A delightful and enchanting choice for storytime or sharing one-on-one." - School Library Journal, starred review
