Résumé
Have your parents ever told you that you shouldn't swallow a watermelon seed because a watermelon will grow in your stomach? Or not to cross your eyes, because they'll stay stuck like that? Takes a look at many of the… old sayings you've heard, examines them and their history, and gives you the truth about them. You'll find out if holding your breath will cure the hiccups, and if eating sugar will really make you hyper. Winner of the 2012 Silver Birch Non-Fiction Award. Grades 3-6. 2010.
