Product Description
Book Description
When a silly chicken makes a silly comment, you don't expect it to get in the papers. But that's exactly what happens to this chicken. One minute she is saying that the more she plucks herself the more gorgeous she looks, the next she is notifying the national papers of the disgraceful chickens who pluck themselves bare and fight to death just to get noticed by the rooster. Could it be her own silly remark coming back to haunt her having passed down a chain of Chinese whispers?

A teaching story about gossip, 28 Sep 2004
By Harold McFarland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: For Sure! for Sure! (Hardcover)
A traditional Hans Christian Andersen story translated by Mus White, "For Sure! For Sure!" is the story of what happens when a simple comment is overheard and passed along by gossip. After a feather falls out of a chicken she notes that she looks "gorgeous". Another chicken overhears it and with a slight embellishment passes it along. The owls overhear it and pass it along to the pigeons who pass it along to the bats, etc. At each stage it changes so that when it comes full circle back to the original chicken she doesn't even know it was about her and she in turn also passes it along to the newspaper. A humorous story that children will love it also provides the opportunity to discuss the problems of gossip. "For Sure! For Sure!" is recommended for the young reader or as a read aloud book for parents.
