“Clifford’s Sing Along Adventure.” Karl-Lorimar. $14.95. Clifford is a person in a red dogsuit hopping around an el-cheapo cartoon set while a bunch of obnoxious kids and cloyingly happy adults sing--or rather shout --such timeless classics as “Bingo,” “DryBones” and “Old MacDonald.” The whole affair is needlessly rushed, with little attempt to teach unfamiliar songs (such as one in Swahili!). Community sings can be a lot of fun, but most kids tend to stare impassively at the tube rather than participate actively. Better to pick up a couple of “Sesame Street” sing-along records. 1/2
