Reading/Book Signing for Kids!Claude the Clumsy Clydesdale by Marion E. Altieri Saturday, December 10th at East Line Books HALF OF ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CAPTAIN!! 12 noon Free Pizza! Free and Open to the Public ABOUT THE BOOK: Claude, the Clumsy Clydesdale is about Claude, a beautiful young foal and a perfect specimen of the strong, earthy and graceful Clydesdale breed. The story centers around Claude and the fact that he thinks of himself as being clumsy after comparing himself to animal friends that live with him on the farm where he was born. Dejected, he retreats to the comfort of his stall where he hides away from those he loves. But just as our hero is about to lose all hope, he must put aside his self-doubts to come to the rescue of Mother Goose and her goslings.
