Clifford's Class Trip

Clifford's Class Trip
by
Norman Bridwell

Clifford the Big Red Dog and Emily Elizabeth and her class are taking a field trip to the aquarium and the outdoor science museum. The plot is the same as every other Clifford book: being a really, really big dog causes some trouble and being a really, really big dog offers some unconventional solutions to problems.

Oh, that Clifford! We all love him!

In the Night Garden

In the Night Garden
by
Barbara Joosse and Elizabeth Sayles
children's fiction ages 3-7

This is another book recommended by our local park district. It is a joyful, imaginative book about three girls who are pretending as they get ready for bed. Animals! Stars! Oceans!

Hopefully this isn't too stimulating of a book for a bedtime story. If you want to do some lucid dreaming you might read this book for ideas on what to think about when drifting off.

This would be a good one to take on a camping trip if you can fit it in with your other stuff and keep it dry!

My memory was playing tricks on me and I got this title confused with "In the Night Kitchen" by Maurice Sendak, but it does not deserve this mistreatment. Sorry Barbara and Elizabeth.
