سکوت وقت کتاب خواندن
میدانستید سکوت انواع مختلفی دارد؟
سکوتِ وقتی که از خواب بیدار میشوی، سکوتِ وقتی که بدشانسی میآوری، سکوتِ وقتی که نباید پرندهها را بترسانی، سکوتِ وقتی که یکی رازش را بهت میگوید، سکوتِ وقتی که داری نقاشی میکشی و...
شما چه سکوتهای دیگری میشناسید؟

این کتاب رو خیلی دوست نداشتم، نقاشی هاش خیلی قشنگن ولی فکر نمیکنم چیزی برای یادگرفتن داشته باشه. درباره موقعیت هایی بود که باید/میشه ساکت بود. ولی خب خیلی کنایه ای

قشنگ ترین قسمت کتاب برای من، تقدیمنامهی اول کتاب بود:

I saw this and I wanted to remember those quiet moments of pause, anticipation, joy, or anxious buzzing inside my brain. Because I love illustrations and the cover looked calm and cute, I read it.
The illustrations were cute and well defined the events being depicted. There were some very typical events chosen for a silent pause as well as some definitely not so conventional; so I enjoyed that.

• کتاب های کودک رو از فیدی پلاس میخونمم .
این کتاب میگه چه زمان هایی باید سکوت کرد(مثلا سکوت وقتی که یکی رازش را به تو می گوید)و راجع به انواع سکوت حرف میزنه . با اینکه بیشتر سکوت هایی که ازش حرف میزد قابل درک بودن ، ولی بعضی هاش هم بودن که من درک نمیکردم و نمیدونستم چرا باید سکوت کنی یا اصلا منظور چنین جمله ای چیه.
• به نظرم از اون کتاب هایی که وقتی برای بچه خونده میشه باید کنارش توضیح هم بدی براش و اون تک جمله رو گسترس بدی و سعی کنی راجع به اون ها با بچه حرف بزنی.
• تصویرسازی های کتاب واقعا قشنگ بود .

I love a well-thought children’s story. An apologue with clever illustrations and amusing wordage.
The Quiet Book is about a little bear and rabbit -along with their friends- who share snippets of cohesive moments. Breaths of hush. The pictorial images are in muted browns and greys and blend with their smidgens of silence.
I was going to list you my favorites but I love all of them. This is a wonderful book to read to girls and boys, 4 or younger, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see older children reading it to themselves. Everyone deserves a moment of peace.

I really liked In a Blue Room but I’m not usually a fan of “go to bed” or otherwise “quiet down” books.
I loved everything about this book. Every page is precious. Kids will appreciate all the different kinds of quiet and can think up some of their own. The illustrations are perfect. This is a good bedtime or anytime book.
The “story” goes from waking in the morning to bedtime, with what could be an extremely full day in-between, but they’re probably activities during many days.
I read it then I immediately read it again. It would definitely make a great gift for kids from birth through pre-school age, and as an adult I appreciated it, and even though it’s very simple I was not one bit bored, and I think some young school-aged kids might like it too, especially if there is some listener participation or if early readers want to read it for themselves.
I’d love a copy. I think it’s a special book. I was completely charmed by the illustrations and the different kinds of quiet that make up the story/text. Comfy, cuddly, cozy, sweet, funny (very funny!) And yes quiet, in a lovely way.

It's strange. I usually end up liking the first book in a series the most. I've already read The Christmas Quiet Book and The Loud Book!, so I was really looking forward to reading the book that started the series. But I was disappointed. If I'd read The Quiet Book first, I doubt I would've bothered reading the others.
What's the problem? I don't even know. It's just kind of boring. It lacks the magic of The Christmas Quiet Book and the humour of The Loud Book! Even the illustrations don't wow me here like they did in the other two.
It would probably be a good bedtime book because it's boring enough to put kids to sleep. But that's not much fun, either. I'd recommend the other books in the series over this one.

I just had read Underwood's Interstellar Cinderella and thought it was one of the best picture books of the year. It was wild, original, feminist and funny.
The Quiet Book was and is very popular and is also very good, though a more conventional picture book. But it's also got absolutely gorgeous, refined, gentle, elegant illustrations By Renata Liwska. Fits quiet.
The writing is also elegant and original, if not the wilder departure in Interstellar Cinderella.

Lovely bedtime read with sweet illustrations.

I loved this book! I was concerned it wouldn't live up to the hype but, gosh, I just want to give it a big hug. I appreciate the various sorts of "quiet" that are accentuated in the text, but it is the illustrations that really won me over. They are absolutely sooo adorable without being "too precious"--there is a deep heart and sense of artistry to each illustration and they are just so sweet and so much fun! I delight in the variety of woodland creatures we get to meet, too.
Three cheers for snuggly-happy-book-reading-quiet! ;-)

This is a thoughtful children’s book about different types of quiet and the emotions that are felt in each type of solitude.

کتابی برای آموزش مفهوم سکوت و معرفیِ موقعیت هایی که نیاز به رعایت سکوت دارن و یا حتی موقعیتهایی که با رعایت سکوت، زیباتر میشن…

Featured in a grandma reads session.
Such a good message in this short little book.
In my chatty family growing up, silence was punishment. You misbehaved, you were going to get some version of silence, either by removing you from the situation, or those important to you were going to remove themselves from your presence, or all were leaving a place you wanted to be, or important information was going to be withheld for a period of time or maybe forever. It sounds terrible, but we were smart and figured out how to work our ways around it. And guess what! We carried it forward, until we tried to stop, but that kind of generational acculturation leaks downward in spite of best efforts.
Now that you have that background, you know why this was such a great book for us - in so many ways quiet is exactly the right atmosphere for our interactions. . .it is not a punishment, it is a gift, is a blessing, is a healing. . . .in our wrapup, we were given the opportunity for and had an important, meaningful discussion.
So many times when we read, these books just show up, jump off their shelves at exactly the right time. I thank all those higher powers for those who write and illustrate to these young people (to all the people)! We are grateful for all the inspirations that move them to do it!

The artwork in this book was awesome. It reminded me of an animation movie. I could picture these adorable animals moving around this book. I never thought of how many types of "quiet" there were. There are many! I smiled, I giggled, I said aweee, and it made me think of my little girl. Definitely a winner!

What a beautiful little picture book.
Thank you to my Goodreads friend for the recommendation.
I’m the “lollipop quiet” type of person.

این کتاب بسیار زیبا درباره تنوع احساسی سکوته. مجموعهای از موقعیتها رو روایت میکنه. هر موقعیت خاص، سکوت خاصی داره. همه سکوتها مثل هم نیستن. سکوت فقط حرف نزدن نیست. ما سکوت از روی ترس، سکوت از روی خجالت، سکوت شیرین داریم. این کتاب میتونه به کودکان کمک کنه که احساسات پیچیده رو بشناسند و یاد بگیرن که سکوت همیشه به معنای تنهایی نیست بلکه میتونه یه لحظه ناب برای فکر کردن و لذت بردن باشه. تصویرگری کتاب بسیار زیبا بود. تصاویر به خوبی اون حس سکوت و آرامش رو به خواننده منتقل میکنه.

This delightful meditation on being quiet - the many different kinds of quiet time, the many quiet activities possible - would make the ideal bedtime book to read to very young children. With a simple text that is little more than a list of quietness - "Pretending you're invisible quiet... Best friends don't need to talk quiet" - and adorably soft and endearing illustrations, everything about The Quiet Book has a gentle, restful quality that I imagine would prove very soporific.
This is one of those books where I really wavered, when it came to my star rating. Truthfully, I was most taken with the artwork, done in pencil and colored digitally. Soft-edged, sweet without being twee, it has a magical feeling that is most appealing. I think my favorite scene was the one in which the animals ride through the night-time snow, but then, I've always had a weakness for winter scenes. I can't say that I was particularly wowed by the narrative, but the more I think of it, the more effective I think it is, at promoting a sense of peacefulness. And thus... the four stars. All in all, a sweet little book, one I would recommend to anyone looking for good bedtime stories.

There are many kind of quiet. Quiet can cozy. Quiet can be tense. Quiet can be worth savoring. Quiet can be gone in a flash. This book celebrates the many kinds of quiet, offering examples of the many moments of quiet in a day. Starting with the quiet of being the first one awake, the book ends with the quiet of being sound asleep. In between, readers will find examples of quiet that are funny, surprising and poignant. This is a simple premise executed with great finesse.
Underwood’s one-per-page examples of quiet each end with the word “quiet.” As you read through the book aloud, you will discover which of the examples make you hush your words even more and which examples are exuberant despite the silence. Deftly done, the examples are varied and interesting. Liwska’s illustrations add to the gentle humor, offering visual examples of quiet. Her pencil and digital images are soft and witty at the same time.
Recommended for bedtime reading, this book is perfect for snuggling under the covers and reading to a little one. Happy cuddles! Appropriate for ages 2-4.

If you asked a child (or an adult, for that matter) how many kinds of quiet there are, I think they'd shoot you a quizzical stare. How many kinds of quiet? What does that mean? Share this book with him, and he'll understand.
The quiet you experience when you're the first person up in the morning feels different than the quiet you experience when you're playing hide-and-seek, or the quiet you experience when you're following your teacher to the principal's office because you're busted, or the quiet when you're the last person to be picked up from school. I found myself turning the pages of this book and thinking to myself, Yep, that kind of quiet feels different. I get it. And I think kids will, too.
For younger kiddos, this book is perfect for bedtime. I also think you could use this book with older kids in a writing class. After you read it, give them each a different concept to brainstorm: how many kinds of "Loud" can you think of? How about "wild"? "Sad"? Their answers could make nice list poems.

What a great idea for a book! I'm thinking of using this to read aloud to my class at the beginning of the school year. I love the concept of different types of quiets. Some of my favorites in the book are: "swimming underwater quiet," "first snow fall quiet" and "story time quiet" - probably because they all bring back such great memories. When I read it to my students I'll have them come up with their own list of "quiets."

فهرستش برای من میتواند بلندبالاتر از اینها باشد
و البته در صدرش سکوت دردناکِ پیش از به خاطر آوردن است...
کاش داستان داشت. بچهها داستانها را بیشتر دوست دارند. مامانهای بچهها هم کتابهایی را دوست دارند که بچهها بیشتر دوست دارند.

I love the concept, and the smaller format that makes it easier for a child to hold. But the illustrations are nauseatingly sweet, even for me. I like Charles G. Shaw's art for The Winter Noisy Book better.
