Fourth grade teacher Nick Buono presents " The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles" at the first breakfast book chat, complete with acting and voices with his fellow teachers.
What do donuts, Whangdoodles and smelly gym socks have in common? They were all part of the first Breakfast Book Chat of the year at Lakewood Creek Elementary.
