'Rumor Has It' Book Trailer

Told through the eyes of the devious rumor marble, who certainly knows how to get around, the story describes how a simple misunderstanding turns into a rumor and starts a chain reaction that can’t be undone, picking up enough steam to make the nightly news and incite an angry uproar from parents. After showing the fallout of the rumor, Julia Cook teaches readers to apply the THINK test, which stands for True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind, before spreading a rumor. Kindergarten through 6th grade students will laugh as they read this engaging and important story and are reminded that it’s much easier to prevent a train –or a rolling rumor marble -- from starting to roll forward than trying to stop one!
