Overview
The Quiet Book is now available in a cozy padded board book edition! In this irresistibly charming picture book, many different quiet moments are captured, from the anticipation - heavy ""Top of the roller coaster quiet"" to the shocked-into-silence ""First look at your new hairstyle quiet."" The impossibly sweet bears, rabbits, fish, birds, and iguanas are all rendered in soft pencils and coloured digitally, and, as in all of the best picture books, the illustrations propel the story far beyond the words. Soft covers, rounded comers, and sturdy board book pages make this new classic the perfect bedtime companion.
