Clifford, The Big Red Dog Story Book Costume Character will celebrate Summer Reading at the Public Libraries of Lancaster County!

May 12, 2015
Clifford the loveable storybook character from author Norman Bridwell’s book, Clifford, The Big Red Dog, will visit local public libraries to celebrate summer reading!  Listen to classic Clifford stories, enjoy fun activities and be sure to bring you camera for a picture with Clifford himself.

The Clifford series includes more than 70 children’s books and was designed to teach children life lessons through reading.  Clifford was the runt of the litter, and was chosen by a city child named Emily Elizabeth Howard as her birthday present.  No one expected Clifford to grow, but Emily Elizabeth’s love for her tiny red puppy changed Clifford dramatically. Before long, he was over 25 feet tall, forcing the Howard family to leave the city and move to the open spaces of Birdwell Island.
