This session reads Tops & Bottoms by Janet Stevens, the trickster tale about a hare who outsmarts a bear by deciding which half of each vegetable to harvest, and then children try the foods from the story. It is a one-hour after-school program at Ashburn Library, aimed at grades 1 through 5, and a good way to coax picky eaters into trying something new alongside other kids. ## Similar picks in Washington, DC - [Stories You Can Taste — fruit-and-vegetable story time at Cascades Library](https://grassyknees.com/washington-dc/activities/stories-you-can-taste-fruit-and-vegetable-story-time-at-cascades-libra--listing-97cfe69e0740af603717d566) — Thu, Nov 19 · 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM · Cascades Library, Potomac Falls · Ages 6–11 · Free · checked Oct 27.
