review 1: “There are many kinds of quiet,” begins this delightful picture book aptly titled The Quiet Book by Deborah Underwood. The muted illustrations of bears, rabbits, moose, owls, and other creatures presented by Renata Liwska deftly add to the sense of “hush” as one reads through all sorts of possibly quiets. The humor is subtle, clever, and quite appealing as the author and illustrator lead young readers to the last type of quiet--”sound asleep quiet.”The collaborative efforts of Underwood and Liwska provide a enchanting read for both reader and listener. The types of quiet range from expected, “new sister quiet” to thoughtful “don’t scare the robin quiet” to thought-provoking “jelly side down quiet”. Readers will no doubt be amused at the differe... morent quiet possibilities enhanced by the cuddly soft animals in the illustrations. A perfect book leading up to bedtime.
review 2: The Quiet Book takes you through multiple scenarios in which you are traditionally supposed to be quiet. This book could be incorporated into the curriculum in a civics lesson teaching children when it is and is not appropriate to be speaking and to be quiet. I loved this book because I think it would be a great way to quiet students down in a calm and valuable way. The pictures are great in this book and I think it would be greatly visually appealing to it's intended audience, which is a lower elementary aged audience. The genre is a Children's picture book. less

Great book to teach the concept of different types of "quiet". Extremely fun illustrations.

The limited text and dull "quiet" colors certainly made this a sleepy read.

Super cute, but don't know if it'd be entertaining enough for storytime
