A Typical Clifford Book, But with a New Author, August 10, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Clifford the Big Red Dog : The Windy Day (Hardcover)
Ages 4-8. Although this book is not written by the original author (Norman Bridwell) of the Clifford the Big Red Dog series, the new author (Somali Fry) has crafted a typical Clifford plot in which the huge, lovable red dog accidentally creates havoc because of his size but ultimately saves the day. In this story, told from the viewpoint of Emily Elizabeth (Clifford's young owner), Clifford chases after a picture that is carried away by the wind. As he runs after the picture, Clifford startles various people and causes a mess. Clifford becomes a hero, however, when he saves Birdwell Island by blowing away a tornado. The story is not very original and the brightly colored illustrations appear flat and unexciting, but fans of the other Clifford books and the PBS television series will probably enjoy this book. This is a scratch-and-sniff book, so children may be disappointed after it loses its scents over time.
