New Titles Quiet! By Kate Alizadeh
Ssh! Listen. What’s that noise? What can we hear when we’re really, really quiet?
A child enjoys the range of sounds they hear as their busy day comes to an end, from the bustle and chat of dinner time, to the quiet hush of their father’s voice at bedtime. Want to introduce ‘Quiet Time’ to the class? January 2020
Ask children to note down all the background sounds at home and build up a list to compare with those in the book. With PENpal recordable stickers make a collection of more sounds into each book. Auditory landmarks help all children to become familiar with daily routines, and can be particularly important to those who are blind or partially sighted. Available now
