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 colored digitally, and, as in all of the best picture books, the illustrations propel the story far beyond the words.
 
The Quiet Book by Deborah Underwood is a sure-to-be-a-classic bedtime favorite. Pair this with its equally entertaining (but quieter) The Loud Book.
