Tattler Tales
Vonnie and Fussy, Girl Reporters
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Mrs. Bergey was a VERY BUSY woman and didn’t have all day to run around talking to everyone, or to call people, or whatever else she would have to do to get a paper out. She had a house to clean and children to feed and “coffee” to attend with her neighbors.
On the other hand, time was all Fuss and Vonnie seemed to have. That and no money. So it turns out that the star reporters of the Tattler were, believe it or not, Vonnie and Fussy. Now, the fact that the girls were eight years old didn't stop people from telling them things, or the girls from writing what they had heard OR Mrs. B from printing their stories verbatim (that means just as the girls wrote it). She paid them a penny a story.
