Editorial Reviews

Review

The Day The Earth Was Silent is a provocative story about children working together to change their world for the better. The Day The Earth Was Silent promotes peace, celebrates cooperation, and encourages thoughtful social action by demonstrating how a group of students achieve their goal, even when everyone around them asks, "Why try?" Edward Sullivan's marvelous full color artwork combines perfectly with Michael McGuffee's engaging story to create a memorable picturebook experience for young readers. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful story w/lovely images for children of all ages!, December 7, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: The Day The Earth Was Silent (Hardcover)

The theme of the story is a universal one that subtly teaches us that the golden rule is larger than any one person or any one country. It is thought provoking on many levels, even though its primary audience are elementary aged children. The illustrations were wonderful and the writing flowed marvelously. I highly recommend this book to parents
