Rumor Has it... by Julia Cook (English) Paperback Book

Description: Rumor Has it... by Julia Cook, Kyle Merriman Rumour has it.that the girls have a couch in their bathroom. And they sometimes take naps in there. And guess what else? Whether weve been the subject of a rumour or the one spreading a rumour about someone else, most of us have been involved with rumours somehow. But how many people really stop to think about the damaging effects? Award-winning author, Julia Cook, cleverly brings this serious subject to light in an entertaining, but cautionary tale about the importance of NOT starting or spreading rumours. Told through the eyes of the rumour marble, the story describes how a simple misunderstanding starts a chain reaction that cant be undone! Children will laugh as they learn that its much easier to prevent a train - or rolling rumour marble - from starting to roll forward than trying to stop one!

Review "Julia Cook is the absolute best when it comes to social/emotional books. I lost track of how many I own by her. I especially love the parent/educator sections of the books for applicable discussion topics, vocabulary, and activities. Filled with entertaining pictures, Cook delivers a wonderful story regarding rumors that a variety of children can relate to." - Miranda Shaw, NetGalley"This is a cute book that offers a huge lesson in how a rumor can get started and how damaging it can be. In the beginning, you meet the rumor marble. He tells you how he likes to roll around in your head and change how you think, feel, and act. It then rolls from your mouth into another persons head, where it continues to change things and create feelings that are different each time. The story itself shares a rumor about a couch in the girls bathroom at school. How one kid started the rumor, which then grew and grew until everyone in town and the news was reporting on the rumor. You learn how damaging the rumor can be and how people look at you differently because of something someone says... If you are looking for a story to teach your little ones about rumors before school, this is a great read. I love the colorful illustrations, it really brings the story together. This would also be a great story for teachers to read to students in their classrooms. Especially the younger grades, whose students are young and very impressionable." - Amber MacDonald, blogger @ Dragonfly Sweetnest"Rumor Has It... is an excellent way to teach students about the power of a rumor and how quickly it can grow! This book is especially useful for the upper elementary grades where rumors and gossip are common social challenges. Another must-have Julia Cook resource to add to my counseling library." - Lauren Tilton, Professional School Counselor Review Quote "This is a cute book that offers a huge lesson in how a rumor can get started and how damaging it can be.
