Just double-tap any text region and it will expand for easy reading. There are many kinds of quiet: Quiet can be delicate. Quiet can be thundering! Quiet can be sweet, and cozy, and can most definitely help you fall asleep. With kid-centric descriptions and irresistible artwork, this gentle picture book explores all the different quiets that can fill a child’s days from morning to night. Review: A sigh of relief for a tired parent! - The Quiet Book is a triumph, in art and text. My kids (like most kids) have a heckuva time settling down to sleep, so we read them a book (or three) to close out the day and get them ready to sleep. Deborah Underwood's The Quiet Book has become a tradition in our household, for those nights when Curious George isn't getting them in a restful mood. I love the very quiet mood of the book... the illustrations are gentle, muted colors, but with little details that keep kids engaged, searching the illustrations for their favorite parts. When we read this book, I have enacted a 'whispers-only' rule, so the kids think it's exciting, like we're sharing a secret. Liwska's animal characters vividly (but quietly) show a lot of emotion, and I think that's what my kids respond to ("look, the porcupine is saaaaad..."). Then there's the text. The illustrations are great, but I think you need to give a lot of credit to Underwood's text in this case... she takes the concept of rhyming and a concrete plotline, and throws it right out the window. It's NOT true that text has to rhyme to engage a child, and it's NOT true that kids can't deal in abstractions. Kudos to Deborah Underwood for giving our kids credit for being smarter than a lot authors give them credit for. That said, the book does have a plotline... But like the book, it's quiet and muted. The ultimate test of any kids book, of course, is if KIDS actually like it. My kids love it so much that they bring it to me to be read, even when it's not bedtime. They also asked me to bring it to their school when we had a 'parents read' day. So I give The Quiet Book five stars, each of which is well-earned, in my opinion. Review: A children's book that makes you think - This is a marvelous children's book. I have always loved children's literature, so have read a lot of it, from many ages. Rarely have I come across one done in such a thoughtful manner as this one. When I finished it the first time, I really stopped to ponder what else in my world am I missing out on, just because I haven't taken the time to stop and think about one idea in different contexts. I enjoyed The Quiet Book so much that I actually bought it and had it sent to my niece's daughter. Their whole family has enjoyed it very much. It is a delightful book to read anytime, but with it's sweet pictorial style and few words, it will make a great book to alternate with Goodnight, Moon as a bedtime book. It won't be long before your favorite children will be reading it to you!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #245,124 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #216 in Children's Books on Sounds #233 in Children's Imagination & Play Fiction #329 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![The Quiet Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S1vl0bSoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A sigh of relief for a tired parent! *by M***O on January 17, 2012* The Quiet Book is a triumph, in art and text.

I have always loved children's literature, so have read a lot of it, from many ages. Rarely have I come across one done in such a thoughtful manner as this one. When I finished it the first time, I really stopped to ponder what else in my world am I missing out on, just because I haven't taken the time to stop and think about one idea in different contexts. I enjoyed The Quiet Book so much that I actually bought it and had it sent to my niece's daughter. Their whole family has enjoyed it very much. It is a delightful book to read anytime, but with it's sweet pictorial style and few words, it will make a great book to alternate with Goodnight, Moon as a bedtime book. It won't be long before your favorite children will be reading it to you!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and unique *by T***. on November 28, 2012* I admit it: When my daughter chooses this book as her bedtime story, I'm pretty happy. It's quiet (of course) and full of great detail that adults can appreciate. In fact, I think much of the charm of this story is the way the adult who is reading the book can relate to the text. We know the peace that can be found in swimming underwater or riding in the car at night or seeing a quiet snowfall; our toddlers probably have no frame of reference for those things or, at most, experience them much differently than we do. But that's OK. This book will calm both parents and children at bedtime. The illustrations are just plain beautiful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/105037278-the-quiet-book](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/105037278-the-quiet-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
