This book is short on words and long on really great illustrations. Quiet Loud and Patricelli's other 2 books are perfect for kids who are just beginning to show an interest in books. The illustrations captivate their attention and the limited number of words doesn't require too much lingering. The illustrations lend themselves to acting out and being silly. This new little book is quickly becoming a favorite at my house!
My 15-month old daughter loves this book! I find myself reading it to her a few times a day; she never grows tired of it. The book holds her attention the entire time while I'm reading it to her. The pictures are colorful and eye-catching. I checked it out from the Library to see if she would like it, I guess now I need to purchase it and add it to our home library. I would defiantly suggest this book to read to infants and toddlers.
My son was 15 months when we got these FABULOUS books and he loves them! He tends to be fairly lound himself so learning about what is quiet and what is loud is a good, continual lesson at our house-this book is the perfect tool and the illustrations are fantastic too. Be sure to check out Leslie Patricelli's other two books as well, Yummy/Yucky (our favorite!) and Big/Little-all are well worth the purchase and great for gifts too.
Not my favorite Patricelli book, bought my daughter likes it which is what counts. I thought she could have done a better job at finding quiet things and loud things that are easy for young ones to recognize. Pretty sure my daughter doesn't know what "thinking" means yet and it is difficult to demonstrate. Regardless, I get really LOUD on the loud pages and quiet on the quiet pages, which she loves. She is getting the idea on the difference between quiet and loud though.
LOVE Leslie Patricelli books. So much so that I have bought about every book has available. Cute simple stories. Easy to read. Baby seems enthralled by the pictures-compared to other books I read her where she prefers to chew on the book. When I read her LP books, she looks at the pages, reaches for the baby, tries to turn the pages.
My daughter and I both love this loud board book! It begins, "Whispering is quiet, Screaming is LOUD," and gets even better from there. It has lots of room for sound effects, and at two years old, she loves to help make the sounds. It's quickly become one of her favorite books, although I did scare her one evening because I was a little too loud...
This is a fun board book that can be used for several ages, not just young children. It actually helps with self regulation because you are quiet, then loud and it is repeated. Even children with short attention spans can get through this book. It's just a fun little book whether you are a therapist or not.
In the first few months of reading this book, I thought it was one of Leslie Patricelli's rare misses. But today I heard my two year old reading it out loud and couldn't stop laughing. It is just delightful to hear him whisper "tissues are quiet" before yelling "sneezes are LOUD!"This book will be so much more fun for you once your child is old enough to read it to you, so consider saving it until your child is a little older and opt for books like "Faster, Faster" or "Higher Higher" for your littler ones.
