Sif, Birgitta. Swish & Squeak’s Noisy Day. Alfred A. Knopf, 2017. Unpaged. $16.99. ISBN 9780399556227. Ages 2-5. P8Q7
This lovely picture book deals with the sense of hearing, and shows how a rich imagination can expand on the everyday sounds we hear. The illustrations are soft and gentle, mostly in light pastel colors. I really like Sif’s illustration style– her books are really pretty without being sickly sweet, and they invite you to look closely for small details.
VERDICT: This is a great book for a public library, and I can see it becoming a favorite bedtime story for some of my library’s younger children and their parents.
