To celebrate Clifford's 35th anniversary, this durable board book edition of the first Clifford storybook invites the youngest readers into the happy world of the Big Red Dog and his friends.
Norman Bridwell's Clifford The Big Red Dog is a classic story about a little girl and her best friend, a giant dog named Clifford. The book has spawned several spinoff books, a TV show, and some movies, but this original story does an excellent job of introducing the characters and their neighborhood. The book is full of sweet and entertaining illustrations.
This particular version of the story is presented in a small board book format, which is perfect for kids who want to start participating in turning pages. The book is also filled with very funny exchanges between Clifford and all of the other people and animals in the neighborhood. Your child will love seeing Clifford get into all sorts of ridiculous situations with his size.
My brother and I were huge fans of Clifford when we were kids. We both always wanted to have a big red dog to ride on all over the neighborhood. The story captures the sweet relationships that kids form with their pets. Even though our dog was tiny and weighed no more than a loaf of bread, we loved him just as much as Emily Elizabeth loves Clifford.
