ABOUT
The tiny house is too loud!
Twig's participating in her school's read-a-thon, but it's hard to concentrate with Dad watching TV, and Turtle trying to blow gum bubbles or showing off the tiny house to curious passers-by. And when Twig's classmate Matteo starts logging more reading time than her, she's desperate to get back her lead, even if it means staying up way past her bedtime.
But when Mom and Dad find out what's been going on, it's time to make some changes to the tiny house rules. Can they find a way to make alone time in a family that's so squished together?
Sweet and bright, Quiet Please!, the third book in the Twig and Turtle chapter book series will be loudly cheered by fans of Ivy and Bean and Judy Moody.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
