Jill Sohn of Sheboygan reads “Harry the Dirty Dog” as her children, Keaton, then 3, left, and Alaina, then 6, use scrub brushes and a pail of water to try and clean the concrete Harry at Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan in this 2012 photo.
At Bookworm Gardens in Sheboygan, children learn about the "Tale of Peter Rabbit" by visiting Mr. McGregor's garden which features real vegetables and a scarecrow surrounded by a white picket fence.
One of the popular interactive areas at Bookworm Gardens allows children to build fairy houses using sticks, sea shells, rocks, pine cones and other natural material strategically placed around large wooden mushrooms.
Bookworm Gardens features dozens of displays like a dinosaur garden, left, that allows children to dig for prehistoric fossils. The colorful building in the background is designed to look like the playhouse from the book “Playhouse for Monster,” that teaches children about sharing.
More than 70 books correlate to the displays at Bookworm Gardens. The books are laminated and stored in stone columns scattered throughout the gardens and are available for visitors to read.
