Did ya know?

Clifford the Big Red Dog is 50 years old?

The first Clifford book was published in 1963 and has grown much like Clifford did. Clifford was the runt of a litter of puppies and was chosen by a city child named Emily Elizabeth as her birthday present. No one expected him to grow, but Emily's love for her tiny red puppy changed him 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.

Happy 50th Clifford and we hope you have 50 more!
