Adventures with Clifford The Big Red Dog comes to LDCM
January 1, 2009
LAS VEGAS - Families and children from all over the Las Vegas Valley can experience a book coming to life when Adventures with Clifford The Big Red Dog opens at Lied Discovery Children's Museum Saturday, January 17 through May 25, 2009. The exhibition is locally sponsored by Target and Vegas PBS. Inspired by Scholastic Entertainment's top-rated TV show Clifford The Big Red Dog and children’s author Norman Bridwell’s beloved books, the traveling exhibition offers numerous immersive "paws-on" adventures that reinforce "Clifford's Big Ideas" – ten simple life lessons designed to help young children navigate their world: Share, Play Fair, Have Respect, Work Together, Be Responsible, Be Truthful, Be Kind, Believe in Yourself, Be a Good Friend and Help Others. Exhibition visitors get to travel to Birdwell Island, home of Clifford and his owner, Emily Elizabeth. A nine-foot Clifford greets visitors and children can take a seat on his giant paws and slide down his tail. The Norman Bridwell Art Retrospective provides an inside look at Clifford’s character and story development over 40 years. Adventures with Clifford The Big Red Dog was created by the Minnesota Children's Museum in partnership with Scholastic Entertainment, Inc.
