This little nugget of cuteness is a moral (about when being a chatty kid is okay and when you need to zip it) wrapped in a gorgeously illustrated foil. The crux of the story is easily discernible and my 8 year old liked it but didn't love it (except for the beautifully colorful pictures). Now to be fair, my 8 year old and I are probably outside the sought after demographic BUT we can see the appeal for those circling around Kindergartners age.

Overall:

This one is cute cute cute but definitely has a specific age target and sadly, my little one is no longer little enough to eat this one up. That being said, ultimately this read is a gem, especially for those Littles that don't mind a story smacking you in the face with a blatant moral.

Actual Rating: 3.5 Stars

Charlotte is a lovable character with a lot of friends. She is very sociable and loves to talk. When this interferes with her friend's learning, they start to ignore her and Charlotte gets upset. When she realizes that there is a time to talk and a time to be quiet and listen, all is well. I loved this character as she reminded me of my daughter. Her teachers always said that she finished her work quickly, then would not stop talking to others, even when they moved her desk beside their own, she just talked to them. The pictures were adorable with whimsical characters, a nice colour palette and great expression. What a great book to share with those "Social Butterflies" in your life whether at home or in the classroom. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )
