I loved the illustrations, they were beautiful. The text was lacking something, sometimes it felt off and didn't seem to flow.

Wonderful children's book full of onomatopoeia and imagination. The pictures are beautiful and not too hectic even for smaller children. It's probably considered a bedtime book because it ends on a quiet note with the small protagonist himself going to bed, but my son enjoys it all day long.

Good for a calming, bedtime book and to reinforce the idea of transition times (quiet/loud play, wake up and sleep time, etc.) with some well-done illustrations to make the boy's imaginative play 'come to life.'

The day starts with a few small noises until the little boy starts to play loudly with his imaginary friends. There is roaring, banging, rumbling and dumping. Then itโs time for a bit of quiet with breakfast and thinking until once again the rumbling and grumbling starts. More quiet comes, with a bag of quiet games, puzzles and art projects, books to read and a nap. Then noise is welcome again with balls and toys and blocks and trains. Dinner comes and goes and bedtime approaches with its own quiet. The way that noise and quiet are presented here is lovely, showing they both have places and special ways of playing that allow them to happen. Loud and quiet times are filled with play and imagination here and parental expectations are shown with lots of love and support. The illustrations are playful with friendly huge imaginary friends that fill the page, dark wood floors to sit on and play, bright walls to hang art on, and plenty of room for imaginations to fill. A warm and loving look at play and noise, this picture book is a gem. Appropriate for ages 2-4.
