Prepare for your visit by brushing up on classic rhymes and stories

Storybook Land Recommended Reading

Storybook Land simply wouldn’t exist without the dozens of nursery rhymes and children’s stories that have inspired the park since its inception.

 

The first set completed at Storybook Land was the old woman’s shoe, a slide built into a giant shoe-shaped house. That was, of course, based on the nursery rhyme “There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.”
