Meet Clifford The Big Red Dog

Description

The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire will be “going to the dogs” on Saturday, November 22 with a visit from kids’ favorite colossal canine, Clifford the Big Red Dog. Families are invited to come and meet a costumed Clifford character between 10 am and 2 pm as part of the popular Books Alive Children’s Literacy Series sponsored by Fidelity Investments.
 
“The goal of our Books Alive program is to get kids excited about reading and to make it a family experience,” explained Xanthi Gray, Educations Coordinator at the Children’s Museum of NH. “Clifford is a particularly beloved character to bring to the museum because all generations are familiar with his adventures and personality. He’s a positive role model for friendship, kindness and learning from mistakes.”
 
At the Books Alive event on November 22, museum staff will be reading a variety of Clifford stories written by Norman Bridwell throughout the day. The big friendly dog himself will be popping in and out to greet children, exchange a hug or high-five, and pose for photos. There will also be a variety of dog-inspired literacy, math and creative activities for children to participate in.
 
All Books Alive activities are included with regular paid admission to the museum: $9 for adults and children over the age of 1 and $8 for seniors. Museum admission is free for Children’s Museum of NH members and children under 1 year old.
