Fifth-grade students at Brown are enjoying a fun 'book tasting' at the Book Bistro this week, hosted by 'Chef Johnson' and 'Chef Hassenger'! The students are sampling a variety of books, discovering new genres, and finding their next great read. It's a deliciously fun way to ignite their love for reading! Bon Appétit!
