All quiet is not created equal. 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. As with all of the best picture books, the illustrations propel the story far beyond the words. The Quiet Book is a sure-to-be-a-classic bedtime favourite.
