"The menagerie from Underwood and Liwska"s "The Quiet Book" (2010) is back, this time with "lots of louds." As with the first book, this is a sampling of conditions and situations, resulting, in this case, in loud noises, each portrayed by the cast of stuffed-animal characters. There is a broad range of noises depicted, from ringing alarm clocks, burping, cheering, applauding, and whistling to sounds created by dropping various items (lunch trays, marbles in the library, etc.). Fortified with the same charm and humor as the first book, this has enough activity and drama to elicit interesting observations and reactions from young audiences. Preschool-Kindergarten".
