Kids love Clifford the red dog. They love animals. This would be a fun book to read before they go to gym or out to play on the play ground. It is about Clifford trying many different school events that are sporty. He wasn't always the best but he had certain talents they needed for all the different sport activities. Like him every child has different talents that they can bring to the table.
Clifford makes a mess of Sports Day, but at the end he saves not the softball but the softball catcher who almost got hit by a car.
