This book is quietly sweet and would make a wonderful bedtime story
around the holidays. The pencil illustrations show talent and the
rhythmic narrations lilts and lulls into a sleepy complacency.

A sweet, Christmas-themed treat, with just the right amount of cuteness and fun sprinkled in. On my "to buy" list.

Beautiful illustrations set just the right mood for each type of quiet mentioned in this book. A couple of my favorites... hot chocolate quiet and hoping for a snow day quiet.

Gorgeously illustrated and very funny. Also a good book for a child to try to discern the emotions of a person by reading the expression on the face. The funny moments come from studying the illustrations.

The duo who created The Quiet Book and The Loud Book have returned with a holiday version. This simple picture book follows the same format as the earlier books, celebrating the small moments of the day that are quiet. Here they are all Christmas themed with quiet moments like “Star on top quiet” and “Luminaria quiet” and “Listening for sleigh bells quiet.”
As always, Liwska’s illustrations add a softness and warmth to the book that entirely suits the theme. Her rabbits, owls and bears are all huggably fuzzy. Their expressions are perfect for each of the moments, from the shock of a broken ornament to the bliss of gliding on ice to the horror of the mistletoe.
A wonderful Christmas read for the entire family, this celebrates all of those moments between the hustle and bustle of the holiday. It will get all of you thinking about your own Christmas quiet times. Appropriate for ages 3-5.
