Description

Charles is a mouse of few words. He doesn’t like to talk, and he’s perfectly happy playing by himself. But his parents are not happy. “It’s time he played football or joined the ballet,” says Charles’s 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.”

First Sentence

Emily's parents are going out.

Description

Being painfully timid and shy does not keep a young mouse from rescuing his babysitter in an emergency situation.
