Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Review
"[T]his tale is a cacophonous triumph on the path to rest. [It's So Quiet] is fantastic story time choice."-School Library Journal
"This uproarious offering, narrated in jaunty rhymes, will evoke lots of laughter. Kids will love repeating the sound effects in loud voices and may be inspired to create their own versions of animal sounds and household squeaks and creaks. The appealing, energetic illustrations, set against mostly dark backgrounds, feature textured, frequently off-kilter lines that add and amplify energy."-Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Throughout [It's So Quiet], the soft, rhyming text and the illustrations, which are like chalk outlines of the noise-making creatures, highlight the stars of this book, the sounds themselves. Great fun, and a great way to make children aware of the sounds that surround them."-Booklist, starred review

- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022My 19 month old daughter loooves this book and she is notoriously resistant to adding new books into rotation! For months Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and the Very Hungry Caterpillar were the top contenders and she has well over a hundred books. It took maybe one day of turning her nose up at this one before she had a change of heart. It brings out the greatest giggles and squeals out of her. Glad I took a chance on this title.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2023Fun little book.
Needs to be read animated, otherwise it is just repetitive.
Once you read it correctly and finish the story, it really is quiet.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2022We saw this book in a store and LOVED it. It’s so stinking cute! But $17.99 for a short book seemed a little steep, so we decided to wait and look elsewhere for it. Low and behold, Amazon had it on major sale!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2022This book was very cute and my kids liked it
A nice short read, nothing too exciting
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023I like that it was a larger book. It was a shower gift.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2022As always, books where the kids can use their voice to create different characters are my favorite. This is a well loved book!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021Changing my review from 5 to 3 stars. Within two weeks of having this book the binding is starting to fall apart with very gentle use.
My daughter loves the sounds and repetitive nature of the book and it’s easily become her new favorite.
