The Chimp Who Lost Her Chatter

Research tells us many common psychological problems can be prevented if children are taught specific emotional, social and behavioral skills when they are young. In each book in this series, an animal learns a new skill to overcome his or her problem. Each book also comes with a stuffed animal representing the story's central character and suggestions on play therapy techniques that can reinforce the message of the story.

Charlotte the Chimp is painfully shy at her new school, where she rarely says a word. With help from the school counselor, and by attending meetings of the Friendship Club, she learns the Four R’s of overcoming shyness: Reason, Reassurance, Relaxation, and Role-Playing.
