Clifford takes a tour of Washington, D.C., and nearly gets himself shot by the Secret Service. Feels like it was written in order to write off a family vacation as a work expense.
Classic Children's Book! I don't know if PBS Kids is still a thing and if Clifford is still popular and well-known to children nowadays however I feel like it's always good to introduce characters that different generations grew up knowing. I liked this book because it has familiar places that kids might know like the White House or Washington in general.
