Beverly Cleary Sculptures at Grant Park Children's storybook garden

Northeast 33rd Avenue and Brazee Street Portland, OR 97212 +1 503 823 2223 (Portland Parks & Recreation) http://www.multnomah.lib.or.us/lib/kids/cleary.html

This sculpture garden at Grant Park's north end celebrates author Beverly Cleary's colorful characters. The writer/illustrator grew up in this neighborhood, and Grant Park is where her stories take place. Statues of Henry Higgins with his mutt, Ribsy, and Ramona in her raingear stand around a central fountain. Lee Hunt, a local artist, designed the garden's child-friendly bronze sculptures. Take a book and have a truly interactive read with the kids in one of the city's beautiful parks. Review © 2009, Wcities
