While some sounds are always loud, others just seem so when things are exciting, upsetting, or embarrassing (e.g., "Burp During Quiet Time Loud"). In this companion to The Quiet Book, succinct, descriptive text presents various kid-perspective scenarios. The animal characters' facial expressions perfectly reinforce the emotion behind each experience. Calm browns and beiges in the digitally colored illustrations lower the text's volume.
