Synopsis: This vintage hardcover reissue of Clifford's Halloween showcases Norman Bridwell's 1966 two-color artwork and brings the traditional silliness of Halloween to a new generation of readers.

Emily Elizabeth and Clifford (the big, red dog) are ready for the spookiest day of the year! They make the most of their Halloween: bobbing for apples, listening to ghost stories, and trick-or-treating. But when it's time to dress up, there are too many costumes to choose from! Zebra, Witch, Knight - what should Clifford be?

*Note: These craft ideas are just suggestions. You can use them, but you don't have to use them. You can expand upon them, or add your own twist. Remember, though, that the focus of your time should not be on the development and execution of a craft; the focus should be on the read-aloud and the enjoyment of the book!
