Underwood reveals that almost all things are more complex than first thought, and each situation will have its own distinct "kind" of quiet. Subtle and quiet even the book's illustration, this is a book that has a powerful opportunity to spur discussion of an unusual notion. In this loud and plug...
I thought that this book was okay. It had a lot to do with being quiet, and the different types of "quiet" we experience. Things such as being quiet because you see something shocking, or being quiet in on a ride at the top of a rollercoaster, are all different types of being quiet. This book cou...
Love to read this book with my toddler for several reasons: The gentle way the book is written and the touching illustrations create space for deep listening and connects us with the variety of forms 'quiet' can take, from surprise to friendship to uh-oh's and everything in between."The Quiet Boo...
Written by Deborah Underwood, Illustrated by Renata Liwaska, 2010. I LOVE this book! It is so simple but yet makes you think about the different kinds of quiet there are. I believe it would be a great book to use for all ages to get kids thinking and pondering, just to see what they can come u...
The Loud Book is a cute book for young children. It addresses the many types of "loud" that we all encounter in everyday life. For example, there is "alarm clock loud," ""home run loud," and "cricket loud." Younger children could talk about how these different types of "loud" make them feel, such...
I loved The Quiet Book, and I find this one equally delightful for some of the same reasons but also for different ones. Young readers will quickly be able to identify the good and the bad kinds of loud as the animals go about their day. This title would be quite useful as a writing mentor text f...
a) describes kinds of loud, not necessarily as good or bad, but kinds that children can identify withb) not necessarily, not much opposition within the textc) shows that some types of loud are acceptable ("good crash loud" at a bowling alley)d) texts help illustrate how some types of loud are goo...
Deborah Underwood stole my idea! :) When I first read The Quiet Book, I thought to myself, "What a great mentor text to use in the classroom. I'll read my students The Quiet Book and then have them write their own Loud Book."This was such a lovely companion to The Quiet Book. Renata Liwska is ...
A follow up to Underwood's The Quiet Book, this sequel contains the same appeal as its predecessor. The book is a series of scenes, each depicting a different kind of loud. There's "burp during quiet time" loud, "snoring sister" loud, "alarm clock" loud - the list goes on. There is a lot going on...
Bad Bye, Good Bye by Deborah Underwood was, in my opinion, a very good candidate for the 2015 Caldecott Award. It did a very good job of using the writing style of rhyming to keep the flow of the book going smoothly. The book's main point was not the text but more the illustrations. They were ...
Local author Deborah Underwood continues her hilarious series as naughty Cat tries to trick us by dressing up in Santa’s outfit so he can give himself a present.

I love this book it is a fun book to read. This book is about two porcupines who wish to have a balloon for their graduation. But since they are all spikey and prickley they are not allow to have balloon but rather bookmark. They tried and tried to asked their teacher to have a balloon but the te...
This is a hilarious book with sparse words that features a naughty cat who is trying to be good so that Santa Claus won't forget him or leave him coal. The book is very interactive; the narrator is basically having a conversation with the speechless cat. This will make preschoolers and early el...
