Quiet Down! Quiet Down! is a story of Mrs. Paws and her students going into lockdown hiding, because of a threatening cat nearby. A student named Dot is able to keep calm and quiet with the help of deep breathing exercises and Dot's Quiet Down Pet stuffed animal mouse. Mrs. Paws recognizes Dot's resilience and realizes the squirming students can benefit from Quiet Down Pets. The colorful illustrations and age-appropriate story help to reinforce the importance of remaining calm and quiet during lockdown drills.
