BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
A grandfather points out how everything seems to be in such a hurry! The birds are flying fast, the bees are working so hard, the dog is running around, even the leaves on the trees are waving. "Let's not be so busy" he says and invites the children to sit on a bench with him. The children recognize how nice it is when everything calms down. "To be quiet and still is a special thing."
Tomie dePaola has given us a lovely, simple book. His sweet illustrations perfectly complement the text, and the message that we need to slow down and experience quiet is timely and important.
