Product Overview
Charles is a mouse of few words. He doesnt like to talk, and hes perfectly happy playing by himself. But his parents are not happy. Its time he played football or joined the ballet, says Charless father. So off Charles goes to ballet class, where he curls up and pretends to be asleep. Football proves even less successful. Will anything bring Charles out of his shell?
A nicely told fable as helpful for their parents as for shy children in need of respect.
The New York Times Book Review
Wells has a time-tested talent for taking a keenly felt emotionin this case shynessand exploring it in a manner that is reassuring to young listeners.
