What does the Pageticker team say about Mr. Quiet?

In Mr. Quiet, Roger Hargreaves makes a big idea wonderfully simple, contrasting noisy Loudland with peaceful Happyland in his trademark bright, brisk style. A lovely choice for young children who prefer calm corners... or for anyone who has ever felt that the world was shouting a bit too loudly.

What is Mr. Quiet about?

Mr. Quiet lives in Loudland, where everything is noisy, making him feel out of place. His soft-spoken nature leads to difficulties, as shopkeepers can't hear his whispers and refuse to serve him. One day, he receives an invitation from Mr. Happy to visit Happyland. There, Mr. Quiet finds a peaceful environment and a job in a library, where quietness is valued. This new setting brings him joy and a sense of belonging.
