Clifford's Thanksgiving Visit - aka - What's Important at Thanksgiving?
Clifford's Thanksgiving Visit
by Norman Bridwell (Scholastic Inc., 1993)
Clifford, the beloved giant red dog, loves his family. Emily Elizabeth is especially close to his heart. But what about Thanksgiving when Emily Elizabeth flies to visit her grandparents and Clifford cannot go? Imagine Clifford in a plane!
Clifford embraces the season and fights the normal adventure of travel on the Thanksgiving weekend to visit his mother in the big city. Traffic jams, parades, football games, turkey dinner - all are a part of his Thanksgiving travel. But what is most important to Clifford?
Emily Elizabeth. And his family.
Yes, Clifford is a picture book character, and I hear has his own cartoon on television - though I have yet to see it. But Clifford knows what is valuable.
Let's concentrate on that this Thanksgiving. Family and friends.
Tell someone you love them.
Greet the neighbors.
Shake hands.
Smile at people you see walking down the street and in the stores.
Happy Thanksgiving!
