Practice healthy exercise habits and promote literacy when you follow along with our StoryWalk, located at Sante Fe Park (1400 N Benedict St). The StoryWalk starting from August through September will feature Dog on a Log? This is the hilarious sequel to Frog on a Log. Frog decides that he does not want to sit on a log, and he definitely does not want a dog to sit on a frog! So he changes the rules. Now, dogs sit on logs, and cats sit on gnats! But what will frog decide to sit on now?
