Storybook Garden
Do you like to read? Did you ever wonder
what it would be like to actually be INSIDE your favorite story? Well then,
step inside the Storybook Gardens!A SECRET GARDEN:
A walled, English style garden is the setting for, A Secret Garden. See if you can find the hidden gate. Inside the walls, beautiful tiles tell the story of a little girl's wish for a small patch of earth to build a garden. Do you remember the magic that unfolds when she begins to take care of The Secret Garden? This story written by Francis Hodgson Burnett definitely has a happy ending.
A GIANT'S GARDEN:
FE-FI-FO-FUM.....If you planted magical beans and they grew so tall that they broke threw the clouds above, then you would enter the Giant's Garden from the story, Jack and the Beanstalk. Up there, it's a wacky world because in a giant's garden, EVERTHING is gigantic. Imagine that big old giant sitting in his oversized chair, potting plants and counting all of his gold.
THE THREE LITTLE PIGS:
Welcome to Swineville where pigs live in houses and tend their gardens. Of course, everyone knows that pigs have their own personalities just like people. Take a look at the first little pig's house. It didn't take much for the wolf to huff and puff and blow the straw house down. For a wolf with a little practice, the second little pig's stick house blew down easily too! Now that brick house is definitely going to be a challenge. If you huff and puff, can you blow it down? I bet not by the hair on your chinny chin chin.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND GARDEN:
Now this is a topsey, turvey garden scene from the story, Alice in Wonderland. Take a picture in the Queen of Heart’s chair. Slide in through the rabbit hole. Can you find the Cheshire cat?.
THE FROG PRINCE:
I didn't realize that frogs played such an important
role in kids' literature! This garden is actually a, "frog grotto"
and depicts the frog prince. I had to think really hard to remember this
story, but finally, it came back to me. Remember, it's the story about
a frog that promises to find a princess' gold ball. For this favor, the
princess has to promise to love the frog. Reluctant at first, the princess
keeps her promise and the frog turns into a handsome prince. This garden
might be hard to find, but don't give up, the "puffed-up frog prince"
sculpture by Gary Price is worth looking for.
