Quiet Down, Loud Town!
by Alastair Heim (Author) Matt Hunt (Illustrator)
In this funny, rhyming read-aloud for very young readers, a grumpy Mr. Elephant just wants some peace and quiet--that is, until he gets it. Packed with hilarious rhymes, fun-to-shout-out sounds, and the frenetic energy of a happy, busy town, this raucous read-aloud follows an exasperated elephant through the course of his day. From barking dogs to clattering dishes at the coffee shop to a boisterous marching band, the noise is just too much. Mr. Elephant wants nothing more than for his loud town to PLEASE QUIET DOWN!!! But what happens when he ends up getting exactly what he wishes for? Snuck into the fun is an important message about seeing things from the perspective of others. Share this story with anyone who loves to make noise and anyone who loves to hate it!

Alastair Heim
Alastair Heim's love for writing started in ninth grade, when a poem that he wrote won second place in a statewide poetry contest. Years later, his then three-year-old daughter began repeating every word he said. This inspired him to write a bedtime story in which they could both participate. Alastair's debut book for Little Bee Books, Love You Too, was published in Fall 2016. He lives in Missouri with his wife and three word-repeating kids. Alisa Coburn is an illustrator and designer who lives with her family in the English countryside. She loves to draw and color as much as she did when she was a little "piglet," and she can't believe that she gets to do this for a living. Alisa is also the illustrator of Love You Too, a picture book on Little Bee's Fall 2016 list. Find out more about Alisa at alisacoburn.com.
