Classic children's book

This book and Kline's other one, "Don't Touch" are wonderful children's books that my kids and others repeatedly wanted read to them. Hence, I have bought them for other children through the years.

Good for teaching when to be quiet and when to be noisy

The summary inside this title states: "Constantly hushed by all the older people around her, a little girl finally goes outside and lets loose with all the noises she knows." The pattern begins on the first page with: "SH!" says my mother. "The baby is sleeping." This continues with grandma, father, brother, sister, and others.Suzy Kline has created an effective book for pre-school and kindergarten children to discuss appropriate places to be quiet and to be noisy. I usually read this to kindergarten students early in the school year when they begin coming to our elementary school library. The students also learn quickly from this story that S plus H makes the "sh" sound.This book would also be an excellent resource for teaching or reinforcing onomatopoeia: those words used to express sounds.
