This book describes some of the special places that one can go to be quiet and alone and to imagine.

This book was very similar to Douglas Wood's "Nothing to Do". This book talks about finding a quiet place and imagining things. I feel like this would be great to use with children who find it hard to find peace and quite in their inner selves. I really liked the idea of the book and how the author provides suggestions of where to find quiet places in their lives where they can relax and appreciate silence. ( )

This picture book is about finding a nice quiet place and all the different places that could be. This would be a great book to use to illustrate the use of a take a break chair in the classroom because it is a quiet place for them to collect themselves. It is also a good book to discuss the importance of having a time and place to be alone and quiet to relax. It could help students to be less stressed. Teachers could have them reflect and journal about their favorite "quiet place" in their lives. If they don't have one they could write about their perfect "quiet place." The illustrations used soft cool colors, and are beautiful paintings. ( )

4 1/2 yrs - the first pages hit home with us, my daughter has always been really sensitive to sound. She's gotten better about it the last year or so. Beautifully illustrated and I enjoyed the message even if it's a bit over the head of a small child. ( )

beautifully illustrated story of a boy who uses his imagination to take him to quiet places. Very nice story to use for creative writing lessons. ( )
