Norman Bridwell's beloved character, Clifford the Big Red Dog, turns 50 this year, and there was a big birthday party thrown for him in New York City. Children who attended the party got to ask Norman Bridwell questions. Bridwell also participated in a webcast of the event with more than 5,000 classrooms to answer children's questions. One cool fact, Clifford's owner, Emily Elizabeth, is actually named after Bridwell's daughter (the children found this out during the session), and his daughter was there with him at the event. The mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, even declared Monday, "Clifford the Big Red Dog Day."
