Tree Frog book is reading matter for a walk in the park
Tiny the Tree Frog has been brought to life with a reading trail through three of Hamilton's parks.
The best selling children's book by Bermudian author Elizabeth Mulderig has been made into laminated poster-size pages.
The idea is that children will “walk and read” their way around Par-la-Ville Park, Victoria Park and the grounds of City Hall to follow the adventures of Tiny.
Mrs Mulderig said: “I've always want to make reading fun and now I'm helping to make both reading and exercise fun.
“This is a wonderful way for children to tour the parks.”
The 22 poster-size pages, which include words and illustrations, were unveiled by Mrs Mulderig and Hamilton Mayor Charles Gosling.
The inspiration for the reading project came from a pediatrician who launched a similar scheme to tackle obesity and diabetes in children in Maine.
The pages will be in place for at least a few weeks as a joint initiative by the Corporation of Hamilton, Department of Education and Ross ‘Blackie' Talbot Foundation.
