A Camper Full of Fun Scholastic gave away books, pins, high-fives, and more Kal was more than happy to stand in line for his turn to spin the wheel and give Clifford a hug. There is a video of Kal saying this was the best thing ever because they gave him a pin promoting Jedi Academy and a bookmark. “I spun a wheel and landed on Yoda,” Kal wrote. “The pins were designed to be pages of a yearbook, and I chose one of Darth Maul that said ‘Best Dancer’ was what he was nominated for.” Kal did not seem to remember any of this when I showed him the stills. Clifford the Big Red Dog meant nothing to him at all. “Who’s Clifford?” “The dog you were happy to hug.” “Oh.” It was fun at the time.
