Clifford Story

Item #9024

Look! Up in the air! Ir’s a flycatcher…it’s a warbler…no, it’s a tufted titmouse! Bird watching is one of Clifford’s favorite pastimes. When he isn’t racing around with other young squirrels (and more often than not — getting into trouble), he likes to sit and marvel at his winged neighbors. Of the various creatures Clifford shares his natural world with, birds are, without a doubt, the most intriguing of all. These things can actually lift themselves free of the land! What a feeling that must be; to fly! Birds are able to blend with both the sky and earth like no other living thing can. By comparison, birds make earth-bound animals, even tree dwelling squirrels like Clifford, seem rather limited and restricted. Not one to be out-done, Clifford’s buddy Fritz, did try to fly once, and he’s been a bubble out of plum ever since. For Cliff, watching birds is a safe and pleasurable diversion from, well, getting into trouble.
