Children's Museum: Storyland [Part I]

There is a new exhibit at the MN Children's Museum: Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites. It runs from September 10th [2011] through February 5 [2012].

Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites brings children and adults into the world of seven beloved picture books. From the gardens of The Tale of Peter Rabbit to the urban snowscape of The Snowy Day and the tropical island of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Storyland engages visitors in early literature adventures. In the exhibit's immersive environments designed for children from birth through eight years old, families discover that it is never too early to develop a love of reading. [mcm.org]

The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff



Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault



Abuela by Arthur Dorros

I am really excited for Where's Spot. It focuses on babies [and young toddlers] and also teaches adults tips on pre-reading skills.

I plan on taking E in the next two weeks and will report back with [Part II] our experience!
