Rumor Has it...

Rumor has it... the girls have a couch in their bathroom. And they sometimes take naps in there. And guess what else?Whether we've been the subject of a rumor or the one spreading a rumor about someone else, most of us have been involved with rumors somehow. But how many people really stop to think about the damaging effects?Julia Cook cleverly brings this serious subject to light in an entertaining, but cautionary, tale about theimportance of NOT starting or spreading rumors.Told through the eyes of the rumor marble, the story describes how a simple misunderstanding starts a chain reaction that can't be undone. Children will laugh as they learn that it's much easier to prevent a train - or rolling rumor marble - from starting to roll forward than trying to stop one!
