There are "many kinds of quiet" in a child's day, from "trying not to hiccup quiet" to "sleeping sister quiet." Featuring different animal characters and capturing the essence of each hushed moment, the soft colored-pencil art in a muted palette provides a stylish match to the book's soothing tone. This is a successful board book adaptation; the slightly smaller-size pages give the whole more intimacy.
