[ 책 소개 ]
찰스는 낮선 사람을 보면 인사로 하지 못할 정도로 몹시 수줍음을 타는 아이입니다. 찰스의 부모는 찰스의 수줍음을 고쳐주기 위해 찰스를 발레교실에 참가시키지만 수줍음 많은 찰스는 1주일 내내 교실의 한쪽 구석에서 잠을 자는 척하면서 다른 애들과 어울리지를 않습니다. 축구교실에서는 하루를 버티지를 못했죠. 어느날 밤, 부모님이 외출을 하고 찰스를 돌보던 유모아줌마가 그만 계단에서 굴러 떨어지는 일이 발생했지요. 평소에는 수줍음이 많아서 아무 것도 못할 것 같던 찰스는 침착하게 유모 아줌마를 소파에 누이고는 119로 전화를 해서 아줌마의 생명을 구합니다.수줍음이 많다고 해서 생각이 모자라거나 행동력이 없는 것은 아니지요. 찰스는 졸지에 생명을 구한 영웅이 되고...

Book 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?
The New York Times Book Review
"A nicely told fable as helpful for their parents as for shy children in need of respect."
Booklist
"Wells has a time-tested talent for taking a keenly felt emotion-in this case shyness-and exploring it in a manner that is reassuring to young listeners."
Publisher's Weekly
"Charles is as happy as he could be," but he is so shy he won't thank Mrs. Belinski for a treat, and he refuses to play with Wanda Sue or answer the phone. ``This can't go on,'' says Charles' father, but all attempts to nudge mousy Charles into action backfire. When Charles is enrolled in ballet class, he hides near a potted plant and pretends to be asleep. And when his father buys him a football helmet with silver wings, Charles ends up having to be carried off the field in disgrace. Then Mrs. Block, his babysitter, falls down the stairs and shy Charles efficiently handles the emergency all by himself. Wells' rhyming text is spare and clever and she shows an acute understanding of the painfully shy child. Whether Charles is anxiously peering out from underneath his helmet or eyeing the fearsome telephone, readers will find this quiet hero and his winsome smile beguilingproof that shyness does not preclude competence.
School Library Journal
Charles is as quiet as a mouseand it doesn't bother him one bit. His rodent parents try everything from bribery to scolding, from ballet to football, but Charles resists all of their efforts to make him become more outgoing. It isn't until he is faced with the emergency of an injured babysitter that he springs into action and saves the day, only to revert to his shyness when his parents return. Wells' illustrations, in the familiar style of her Stanley and Rhoda (1978) and Hazel's Amazing Mother (1985, both Dial) show the plump, large-eared cast to be full of charm and cleverness. Facial expressions, posture, and background details substantially extend the humor of the story. The simple rhythm of the rhyming text is subtle and playful. It is refreshing that Wells offers no sudden transformation of Charles, nor does she propose any easy solution to his situation. Instead, she present a welcome portrayal of a common trait in young children with empathy and respect.
