Reading Adventureland April 22, 2010

The magic of classic children's literature comes to life in this artifact-rich, life-size pop-up book - bigger than five new average American homes combined. Follow the Yellow Brick Road into five literary landscapes inspired by children's books. Check out the Mystery Mansion, play with silly words and rhymes in the Upside-Down Nonsense House, explore a shipwreck and caves in Adventure Island, come face to face with famous fairy tale characters and settings in Fairy Tale Forest, and weave the magic of fantasy in the Wizard's Workshop. Each area is a complete and fully-engaging environment in its own right and includes relevant books that can be read on site or checked out at the museum library desk.
