Young children usually accept everything they hear as the truth. Yet often the story that's being told isn't true at all - it's a rumor. Likening the spread of rumors and gossip to the game "telephone", this music-filled program helps young children understand the importance of asking questions and setting the record straight before accepting a story as true. Makes kids aware of how rumors and gossip can lead to hurt feelings. Three age appropriate vignettes demonstrate the lessons that focus on: Rumors Hurt; Stop the Gossip; and, Starting Rumors is Mean.
