This is a colorful and vibrant book about a series of sounds that wakes up an entire apartment building, and the sounds that eventually lull them all back to sleep again。 Expect lots of sound effects when reading this one aloud!

Caroline

My favorite new read aloud。 It’s full of fun words and noises, and I love the diversity of the folks in the story。 I just need to find more small people to read aloud to!

Rebecca Ann

I love cumulative tales and this is no exception with marvelous sound effects and a community/city living focus。 This is a perfect read aloud!

Molly Cluff (Library!)

A cute cumulative story about a whole bunch of people living in the same building trying to fall asleep--the sounds that wake them up and then the sounds that lull them to sleep。 Super adorable--and I love the cutout style illustrations。

Everybody in the red brick building was sleeping until Baby Izzie howled in her crib。 That set off a chain reaction that got lots of people in the building awake。 Rayhan tried to quietly check on his parrot, who shouted to Wake up! The boys sleeping outside got into a game of flashlight tag。 Natalia set off her light-up rocket。 And the noise kept growing with a car alarm too。 Then quiet returned with the street sweeper going by, acorns plonking down, windchimes, and Izzie getting snuggles。 Final Everybody in the red brick building was sleeping until Baby Izzie howled in her crib。 That set off a chain reaction that got lots of people in the building awake。 Rayhan tried to quietly check on his parrot, who shouted to Wake up! The boys sleeping outside got into a game of flashlight tag。 Natalia set off her light-up rocket。 And the noise kept growing with a car alarm too。 Then quiet returned with the street sweeper going by, acorns plonking down, windchimes, and Izzie getting snuggles。 Finally, everyone in the red brick building was asleep – again。Wynter takes a classic children’s story structure and brings the noises to a full cacophony before returning the building steadily to quiet again。 The book is a great mixture of wildness in the middle of the night and then quieting to fall asleep, making it a great book to get restless children to bed。 The text is filled with repeating loud noises that children will enjoy joining in to help make them even louder。 As the book quiets down, the sounds become soft and gentle while staying just as enjoyable as before。Mora’s illustrations are done in colorful paper collage that show the diverse community that lives in the red brick building together。 The colors take the deep blue of night to the orange warmth of indoors to teals, lavenders, and yellows。 The colors are engaging, making each page turn a new room of its own。 The illustrations are just as dynamic as the book, and that is certainly saying something!A great read-aloud bedtime book。 Appropriate for ages 2-4。 。。。more

A peek inside a red brick building at the night life of different families when a baby in the building wakes them up。 Illustrated by the collage of Oge Mora, which is notable。

Jini Mora

A baby cry woke many up。 Read to see what happened。 The illustrations were superbly fantastic。

Elisabeth

Closer to 3。5 stars。

A gorgeously illustrated bedtime story about falling asleep in a busy building。 Though not your typical bedtime sounds, this book still captures the rhythmic lulls of falling asleep。 It’s both charming and catchy and the art is some of Oge Mora’s best。

What a special book! I loved it's circular nature, starting with alarming and rousing sounds from the various people living in the red brick building to the comforting sounds anyone might hear at night。 I can imagine reading this story to my children when they were younger (now they are middle schoolers) and having fun with all the onomatopoeia。 And the illustrations。。。Oge Mora's use of color, texture, and patterns is divine and a treat to the eyes!

I had the honor of reading Anne's manuscript in 2017 and knew then that it was something special。 Reading it today, paired with the fantastically wonderful illustrations of Oge Mora, it indeed is an especially special book! This book is certain to become a new classic - perfect for getting those bedtime wiggles and giggles out。 As a speech pathologist, this book would be great for helping younger kids work on cause and effect, sequencing narratives, etc。 A must-have for any shelf!

This book has so much to offer with its gorgeous art, engaging storyline, and as a perfect bedtime read! A cumulative narrative builds up as cacophony grows in the red brick building and a similar text tapers off as action and noise winds down in all the homes。 Funny, charming, beautiful, onomatopoeic, whimsical, colorful。。。Oh, did I tell you this book has SO much to offer?

This story feels like an instant classic。 Clever, lulling, rhythmic text follows children in an apartment building who are woken up by an accumulation of noises one eventful night。 The story cleverly cycles back as the children all settle down again, with the littlest one—who kicked off the cacophony—lulled to sleep by the sounds of love。 Gorgeous illustrations, too! Highly recommend!

Sarah

Delightful, engaging, great sound words, and lovely illustrations。 I read an ARC on Edelweiss。

Dane

I love books that feature the realities of urban living。 This one showcases the residents of a red brick building, including those feathered and furred。 A wonderful read aloud for and with kids plus vivid illustrations make this an enjoyable book to come back to night after night!

Everybody in the Red Brick Building is asleep until one by one a series of events wakens the building residents。 A brilliant bedtime read-aloud complete with captivating artwork。

My whole family loved this gorgeous book! From the very first line, Wynter grabs the reader's attention with an all-too-relatable moment of the baby waking up crying, and she keeps us enthralled as, one by one, the chaos builds with everybody else in the red brick building waking up。 Mora's illustrations are fantastic! This fun, onomatopoeia-filled book belongs on every school and home bookshelf。 My whole family loved this gorgeous book!

This is a gorgeously illustrated book with a really unique cumulative structure。 Readers get to see inside an apartment building over the course of a night, getting an intimate glance into the lives of its residents in all their fun and interesting ways—and with fabulous onomatopoeia to match! Using sounds, we count up and then count back again, watching as the building springs to life and then settles to sleep。 A really fun read-aloud with terrific read-again potential!

Beautifully illustrated onomatopoeia cumulative tale。

I won a contest on Twitter and the illustrator (Oge Mora) sent me an F&G of this book。 I love the story and how it builds on itself。 The illustrations are fantastic! I love a city-centric picture book。 This would make a great read aloud with children 3-6 y/o。
