Curious George, America’s favorite little monkey continues his (mis)-adventures right here in Tucson! Curious George investigates his world because everything fascinates him—familiar things, unfamiliar things, things he doesn’t quite understand—everything. What keeps us wanting to come back to George is the fact that we know his curiosity will propel him into (mis-)adventures. But George isn’t undone by his mischief. He usually manages to pull himself out of it and sometimes even saves the day. Come and meet him at the Festival of Books, fulfill your curiosity and have your photo taken!

Clifford the Big Red Dog is an eponymously titled American children's book series about a big red dog named Clifford. It was first published in 1963 and was written by . Clifford was the runt of a litter of puppies and was chosen by a city child named Emily Elizabeth as her birthday present. No one expected him to grow, but Emily's love for her tiny red puppy changed him dramatically. Before long, he was over 25 feet (7.6 m) tall, forcing the Howard family to leave the city and move to the open spaces of Birdwell Island. He met friends there including, Cleo, Mac, and T-Bone. Friendly, outgoing and helpful, Clifford sometimes gets into trouble because of his size or is tempted by his friends and those he meets.
