Karen Drake's Please Be Quiet humorously examines the most negative aspect of apartment life -- noisy neighbors. In this children's story, Herman is plagued each night by neighbors who sing, dance, cry and bark. Despite Herman's polite requests for quiet, the disturbances persist until Herman gives his neighbors a taste of their own medicine.This book teaches compromise and respect for mutual space. The simple vocabulary and sentence structure emphasizes directions and sound words. An added touch is the vivid illustrations by Aaron C. Jones.
