A good book to get children to 'hear' the sounds using their minds. Or guess the sound game. :) Trying to use this book for storytelling. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Stunning visual imagery complement the playful words. Renowned British designer, Andy Goodman, brings his tried and true whimsical style to this new children's book. IT WAS SO QUIET I COULD HEAR A PIN DROP has a beautiful rhythmic flow to it. The quiet start to the book is accompanied by colours and illustrations that are also so calming. As the book builds up its tempo, the graphical elements get bolder and richer in colour. A very smart concept indeed for a picture book.

Cover would win any cover award I would give out. Love the illustrations


8/30/21 update: decided to donate because I don't think I am the proper reader for this book, much as I love the illustrations.

I enjoyed this book but wish I had found it a few years earlier as it would have been a great start of conversation about sounds when faris had been younger.
