Charley Chatty has a little problem. Her slidey eyes see all kinds of things even other people's money. This simple story deals with stealing and helps parents strategize on the best way to handle the situation. It is written by two therapists who deal with childhood behavior and comes with a few pages of parent training at the end of the book. This would be a great family or classroom book to have on hand when the situation presents itself.

--I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are purely my own and not influenced in any way.--
I find these books fascinating because​ I learn a lot about how traumatized children act and think, but I am not a child psychologist nor do I work with troubled children so I cannot really judge the methods presented for accuracy. That said, I think that this book would be a great tool for parents/guardians of children who steal as well as a tool for the children to understand why they do what they do and learn that they are not alone in feeling that way. Not a book for every child, but certainly a helpful book for those that might need it.

I really enjoyed this read - I recognised pupils that I have taught over the years, both before and after entering the foster system or being adopted. I think this would be a good book for children who collect - it could help them understand that it is normal to want to collect items and that they can learn to use words to make them feel better.
