Myths The myths children believe and what is really true: what happens to swallowed gum, the brain and the senses, colds and the weather, swimming after eating, growing, pets and farm animals, wild animals and tall tales, creepy crawlies, birds and sea creatures. Each lesson sets a myth beside the fact.
