Underwood, Deborah The Christmas Quiet Book, illustrated by
Renata Liwska. Houghton Mifflin,
2012. $13. Content: G. PICTURE BOOK.
Underwood has brought her imaginative representations of quiet to the
Christmas season. I can’t wait to
read this one with a small friend – It would be great to read as a bedtime
book, to settle down restless bodies.
With a big yawn after every page, the children will be ready for their
long winter’s nap in no time.
Though I do hope that next year brings a Christmas Loud book as a
complement!

I so agree. My three-year-old and I adored this one. It's probably one of my favorite children's books now because every page is wonderful, and it's a great lesson in how one word can have so many shades of meaning. I was sad when it was time to return it to the library, but it was time for someone else to share it with his or her child. I loved it so much I thought about reviewing it, but I forgot since it went back to the library. I'm so glad you did, though. Oh, and the regular Quiet Book is nice, too.
