Ok, as I did when reviewing The Quiet Book, I'm going to declare my interest straight away and say I'm Deborah Underwood's brother-in-law. That does mean though I'm not writing a review straight after getting it, I've been hearing about the LOUD Book for a while now. For which much credit goes to the editor, Kate O'Sullivan, who backed her judgement and commissioned the LOUD Book before the Quiet Book was even published. So don't worry, this is no quickie sequel to cash in on The Quiet Book's hit status: this is - as the cover says - a real companion to the first book.Just like the Quiet Book, this book covers all sorts of LOUDs. Some are just LOUD, like FIREWORKS LOUD. But many are just as contemplative and thought provoking - and even quiet - as the quiets in the earlier book. "Candywrapper LOUD" in the cinema, for example.Talking of Fireworks, I think Renata Liwska's illustration for FIREWORKS LOUD must be my favourite across either book - the awe of the animals looking up, what a brilliant composition. Fabulous work. You can see it in the picture roll on 's page for The Loud Book.All in all, a great book and a worthy companion to The Quiet Book for both text and illustrations.
Don't you love it when you are a fan of an awesome book and then the author decides to do a cool companion to it!? I started to use The Quiet Book this year with my K-1 students to help support that concept in the classroom. A cute adorable read is always a nice way to help introduce the need for shhhhhh sometimes. But we aren't always required to be hush hush in school so I was so excited to see The Loud Book at my local bookstore. Another creative resource to add to my classroom management lessons! It can be pretty darn boring to hear your teacher instruct you on different voice levels - but not when you have two delightful books to help bring the message home.
I didn't think it'd be possible for them to top The Quiet Book, but this book does just that. Delicious colors, artwork, and funny moments to celebrate LOUDLY!
Deborah Underwood hits it out of the park again with the sequel to The Quiet Book, currently at #10 on the NY Times bestseller list for picture books. A delightful romp through the many ways in which sounds can be loud, or too loud in context. My wife, a pediatrician, bought both this book and The Quiet Book for her waiting room and finds them the two most popular books there.
This is a fun book and the illustrations are wonderful but The Quiet Book was better. Had I not read The Quiet Book I might have given this book 5 stars. It gets 4 because in my opinion it's not as good. The Quiet Book is incredible and left me thinking about all of those special moments in life. Clearly there were a few of those in The Loud Book, but not as many.
My 2 year old love this book and the "Quiet book" by the same author. Simple reading however with a little imagination, you can make this book extra fun with sound effects, etc. Illustrations are beautiful. We love it and don't find it boring. Be creative each read than just reading the simple words on the page.
Love it - it's fun: adorable, read-out-loudable fun! The padding is nice for little ones and it seems durable, but what we cared about is how fun it was... it passed the test. Great illustrations and some thoughtful text make this a fun way to get young ones started reading!
Bought all three of these books for our grandkids and I have given copies to a friend for her grandkids. Everyone loves it.Clever drawings of familiar situations that all connect, by association, to the theme of the book. A very sweet book series.
