To capture the imagination of children and promote the importance of literacy, the Dallas Arboretum is holding the Storybook Playhouse exhibition, available at the gardens on March 7th through December 31, 2009.
14 interactive playhouses based on classic children’s stories were selected by a panel of distinguished jurists, who were chaired by Mrs. Laura Leppert, literacy advocate and the wife of Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert.
