Join us in celebrating Clifford the Big Red Dog's 50th Anniversary/ Birthday Party! We'll be reading books, playing games, and watching a Clifford video. And as a special surprise for the kids, Clifford himself will make an appearance just so we can sing Happy Birthday to him!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

We'll send confirmed registrants a free pack of Clifford books as a birthday present!
