School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1-A look at "lots of louds," from booming thunderstorms to spilling one's marbles in the library to the deafening silence of parental disapproval. Liwska's whimsically drawn animals act out the various scenarios with clever and nuanced detail. (May) (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Publisher's Weekly Review
The colors are a bit brighter and the type is set all in caps, but this sequel to The Quiet Book stars the same gang of fuzzy creatures and is every bit as charming. Many of the "louds" are found in school-there's "WALKING-TO-SCHOOL SONG LOUD" and "BURP DURING QUIET TIME LOUD." Playful details abound; the bowling bear who makes a strike ("GOOD CRASH LOUD") in one panel is seen bowling on a fuzzy TV screen in the next. A father rabbit who's watching TV hears a dreadful noise in the kitchen ("BAD CRASH LOUD"); careful inspection reveals that the small rabbit sitting on top of the television is reading The Quiet Book. Liwska's artwork, as always, is noteworthy for its depth and warmth. The expressions on the faces of her animals convey community, even intimacy; they often appear to have been deep in conversation just before being interrupted by a deafening crash. Fans of the first book will be delighted to extend their bedtime reading time with the second, and they'll welcome the chance to pump up the volume. Ages 4-8. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Horn Book Review
While some sounds are always loud, others just seem so when things are exciting, upsetting, or embarrassing (e.g., "Burp During Quiet Time Loud"). In this companion to The Quiet Book, succinct, descriptive text presents various kid-perspective scenarios. The animal characters' facial expressions perfectly reinforce the emotion behind each experience. Calm browns and beiges in the digitally colored illustrations lower the text's volume.

Kirkus Review
Quiet Book (2010) there are now just as many kinds of LOUD! Written with the same grace and economy, the short glimpses of "louds" range from good to bad and every clanging in between. The day starts with "alarm clock loud," showing little rabbit desperately trying to muffle the sound with a pillow wrapped round his ears. There is also the embarrassing "dropping your lunch tray loud" and the ever-agonizing "candy wrapper loud" (in a quiet theater, of course). But surprisingly, some louds have no sound at all, like the "deafening silence loud" of getting caught doing something wrong. Eschewing noise lines and other dramatic visualssave for the title and copyright page where the words burst forth at sharp, diagonal anglesLiwska instead shows mouths open in loud roars, boisterous crowds and hands over tortured ears. The text, written in all caps, doesn't necessarily shout, but it does sneak in an urgent edge. The overall format of fuzzy illustrations and sweet simplicity of moments suited its quiet predecessor a bit better, but the collaborators have created a worthy companion to their previous success.

Booklist Review
The menagerie from Underwood and Liwska's The Quiet Book (2010) is back, this time with lots of louds. As with the first book, this is a sampling of conditions and situations, resulting, in this case, in loud noises, each portrayed by the cast of stuffed-animal characters. There is a broad range of noises depicted, from ringing alarm clocks, burping, cheering, applauding, and whistling to sounds created by dropping various items (lunch trays, marbles in the library, etc.). Fortified with the same charm and humor as the first book, this has enough activity and drama to elicit interesting observations and reactions from young audiences.--Enos, Randall Copyright 2010 Booklist
