This set like all Clifford the big red dog DVD's is great, but parents who have already bought many of the Clifford DVD's need to know this is not new material. This set has 5 DVD's in it that are also available individually. These DVD's are:"Doggie Detectives","Look out Clifford/Big Fun in the Sun", Rock N'Roll Clifford/Team Clifford", "Everyone Loves Clifford/Good Friends, Good Times", and "Clifford Saves the Day/Clifford's Fluffiest Friend Cleo". If you are like me you are better off finishing your collection separately, but is you are new to Clifford this set is a great start!!!

My 3 year old daughter had to spend 5 days in the hospital and having a 7inch portable DVD-player and this set of Clifford DVD's made our life much easier.
I like that, even though there are 5 DVD's in the cover, it only is the thickness of one DVD (Really nice to take with you without using up much space).

We bought this for our 3-year old daughter who LOVES Clifford. . . she is enchanted with the stories. With 5 DVD's there are so many episodes that the parents won't get blurry-eyed having to listen/watch them, too! Good life lessons in the stories. Nice voice work by the late John Ritter. Great for the DVD collection.

This is a very special show for me. When I was younger, every week day morning I'd wake up, eat my breakfast and watch Clifford the Big Red Dog and then go to school. This show would always put me in a good mood. Now, as a teenager I honestly still love Clifford the Big Red Dog. Now I know most teenagers don't watch Clifford but I personally think it's a great show for all ages. Clifford the Big Red Dog has positive messages for kids and I personally think its enjoyable entertainment for older viewers.

Thanks to Norman Bridwell (author of Clifford the Big Red Dog) and Scholastic we have Clifford the Big Red Dog, one of the best children's shows ever made. The cast for Clifford the Big Red Dog is perfect. Clifford is voiced by the late (sniff) irreplaceable John Ritter. (I mean really can you imagine another person voicing Clifford?) Clifford has three best friends, Cleo, (Voiced by Cree Summer) T-Bone, (Voiced by Kel Mitchell) and his owner Emily Elizabeth Howard. (Voiced by Grey DeLisle) Some of my favorite episodes from the series are "Tummy Trouble," "Mac's Secret Dog Club," "Screaming for Ice Cream" and I could go on and on.

When I found out they're DVD's of Clifford the Big Red Dog I started buying them almost instantly. (I only have a few more to go) In this "best of" there are a collection of five DVD's. They have all been previously released but if you have not bought these Clifford the Big Red Dog DVD's already you should purchase this collection. (It saves you a lot of cash)

Clifford the Big Red Dog DVD's usually have around eight to ten episodes on each disc. But I wish we had the episodes in their entirety. Unfortunately these DVD's don't feature all these segments in an episode, but all's not lost. In the bonus features I was relieved to see they still had a few Speckle Stories and Clifford's Big Ideas. (Hopefully one day Scholastic will release seasons of Clifford the Big Red Dog)

This is a very affordable Clifford the Big Red Dog collection and I recommend it.

While my kids (a 4 year old boy and a 2 year old girl) like Clifford, he's never quite made it onto their A-List of must-see kiddie TV. That being said, they do occasionally ask to watch Clifford, and this collection is a boon in that it contains over 40 episodes, so they can watch all of Clifford they want without their Mommy or me having to watch the same handful of stories over and over and over.

The collection contains 5 DVDs, and are packaged so that the DVD case isn't much bigger than a single DVD case. The case also comes inside a little plastic box with Clifford's face on it, which was a nice touch. The stories themselves are cute, inoffensive, and contain gentle messages about sharing, playing nicely, and so on.

While there are more Clifford episodes out there, this collection contains all of the Clifford I'll ever need, and it represents a good value for the cost.

This DVD has all of the great Clifford shows. I highly recommend buying this rather than 1 DVD at a time. It will save you a lot of money. Plus your child will love the big red Clifford package it is stored in.

We keep this in my van for my daughter. It was a great purchase. It was shipped in record time and the quality of the cartoons is excellent.

These DVD's are great! We purchased them for our grandchildren and they ask to watch them every time they come. What great life lessons they teach!!

The content was perfect for my 3 year old daughter. She was glued to each episode for a week. The lessons learned are important, and there's no violence. The only negative, is that you need a DVD remote control to access the episodes you want. Since we don't have one for the car or the master bedroom (lost them) we had a difficult time viewing them.

If you already own several other Clifford DVDs, then you probably should skip this since you'll probably get a lot of repeats. But if you're just starting to collect Clifford, this is a must have. Rather than buying 5 separate DVDs, you can get this wonderful collection for a fraction of the cost. There are literally hours and hours of shows on this collection, and the fact that they come in a neat tin case is also nice. It may not have every episode you want, but for the money you can't beat this collection and it makes a great start or centerpiece for your collection. Our daughter loves this show and we take this collection with us whenever we travel. There are so many episodes she can watch Clifford the whole vacation and not run out of episodes to watch! Definitely worth it!
