Have you ever had a rumor spread about you? Madonna writes a great book about how powerful words are. Mr. Peabody is an elementary teacher who coaches a boys’ baseball team during the summer. Every morning Mr. Peabody stops at Mr. Funkadeli’s stand and picks up the paper, and after every game he picks up an apple. One day Billy notices that Mr. Peabody doesn’t pay for the apple. He goes to tell Tommy on the team, and Tommy then goes and tells everyone else. Nobody shows up for the next baseball game, and Mr. Peabody notices that people in Happville do not wave back to him. Billy tells Mr. Peabody that everyone thinks he stole the apple. Read to find out if Mr. Peabody really stole the apple and how words can be so powerful!
