About the Book
"Why Can't I?" is a typical child's reaction to a request that a child will make, and the parent says "no". This is a story about a young chimp named Jocko, who thinks he can do many things that the older chimps can do. The role of the chimp's parent is to teach Jocko the right and wrong way of doing things. Jocko wants it his way, and of course mother chimp has it her way. Once in awhile the father steps in and that puts a quick end to Jocko's wishes. Getting mother mad at you is one thing but getting your father angry is something a chimp never wants to do.

I just read the children's book----"Why Can't I?" I found this is enchanting. Parents will laugh when they are reading this adorable book to their children, we can relate to all the subject matter because we have all heard it before. The illustrations are superb, I loved this book.

About the Author

Both my husband and I would look at each other and remember that we tried those same ideas or tricks on our parents and most of the time lost the battle. Even as a teacher my students would try to pull their---Why Can't I's on me. Of course they lost, but they still tried.
