The quiet book - Deborah Underwood, Renata Liwska



This fresh title “The quiet book” comes from the collection of ‘all different kinds of quiet’ such as happy quiets, worried quiets, sad quiet, fun quiet, scared quiets, uh-oh quiets and "was I being naughty?" quiets. There are all kinds of special quiet times. It is somehow philosophical.
The animal characters are soft and wonderful and each one from the iguana to the bear that drops his jelly sandwich is sweet and lovable. The illustrations are so sweet, imaginative and beautiful. This quiet also has been well combined with all text, illustration and even book design. The book size is a smaller than normal size picture book, with adorable little animals painted in earthy pastel colors, and a gentle narration of the types of quiet throughout.
It's a perfect book for naptime or bedtime as the story ends with an image of animal friends in peaceful sleep.
