review 1: Lacey talks so much that she doesn't get things done and she's unable to listen to her surroundings. One day, when she loses her voice, she realizes that she's able to complete tasks at home and at school, and that the people and activities around her are more fascinating than she thought. The message in this book is fantastic. Sometimes we need to be quiet in order to be accomplished and appreciative.
review 2: Lacey Walker, Nonstop Talker is a picture book for children in preschool and older. It tells the story of Lacey who is always talking, and always being asked to stop. One day, she loses her voice and cannot talk at all. She learns about all of the things she misses out on each day, from having extra time to do things, to learning surprising things ab... moreout her friends. I gave this book 5 stars. It is a book that is so easy for children to relate to – many of them are non-stop talkers who are well aware of the fact. When Lacey realizes all of the things she’s missed out on, children have no questions why, and are eager to discuss. In the story, Lacey herself is an owl, and all of her friends are animals of one kind or another which is a feature of animal fables (perhaps it was too strong to insinuate that all little girls talk too much?) This story teaches how important it is to be a good listener, and not just because someone is telling you to. The way the story illustrates how much one can miss out on offers an incentive to listen. This would be a great addition to any life skills curriculum. less
