Quiet as a Butterfly: I Wonder Why
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
Quiet as a Butterfly follows an attentive boy as he listens his way through a school day. He hears a clock ticking, horns beeping, school bells ringing, rain dripping, pans clanging and, at day's end, the staircase creaking and his father snoring. The book's point is not to explain how hearing works; rather, it aims to sharpen young readers' awareness of all they can listen to--and all they can learn as they do.

Timeless Classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
My mother read this story to me when I was a little girl and it remains one of my favorites. As an early childhood educator, I use it to teach my students about the five senses. It is wonderfully interactive as the children "help" me read by making the sounds that the boy hears during the day. It also works well as a book to read to children before they go to bed as it conludes....quietly. It's a bit dated in it's illustrations and such, but the children love it which is proof that a good children's book is always timeless.
