About the Author
There's no denying that kids love Clifford®. The Big Red Dog® has been a favorite since Norman Bridwell created him over 40 years ago. "I was working as a commercial artist in New York City. There wasn't much work, so I made some sample pictures and took them to several publishers. They all rejected my work. But one editor suggested that I try writing a book of my own to illustrate. I had done a painting of a little girl with a big red dog. That seemed like a funny idea, so I made up a story about them. I increased the dog's size from as big as a horse to as big as a house. My wife named the dog Clifford, and we named the little girl Emily Elizabeth after our daughter. In three days I had written the story and drawn the pictures for Clifford The Big Red Dog. When Scholastic called and said they wanted the book, I was stunned." Bridwell, who grew up in Kokomo, Indiana, lives now on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, with his wife, Norma.

Clifford and the Big Storm,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clifford And The Big Storm (Clifford 8x8) (Paperback)
This is a good classic Clifford book. My 2 1/2 year old knows it by heart. I could be little scary to children who are afraid of storms. Emily and her grandma have to go to a shelter - it might make kids worry too much over an oncoming storm.

This review is from: Clifford And The Big Storm (Clifford 8x8) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my grandson, who is really afraid of storms. He was very happy to read how Clifford was able to be a hero and help people when a big storm came. Although he is still worried by big storms, it helps to know that he is in good company, and that there are ways to help when people are in danger.

"Clifford and the Big Storm",
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Clifford And The Big Storm (Clifford 8x8) (Paperback)
Clifford and the Big Storm is about a day when a Hurricane (or a Big Storm) hits the shore where Emily and Clifford are staying at for the weekend. Clifford goes out in the middle of the Storm and tries to save Emilys grandmothers house. This book teaches the lesson of courage. It also teaches that, there is nothing to be afraid of, not even a Big Storm like the one in the book; so, be brave and face the fear. The age level for this one would be about a Kindergarten- 1st grade book. This book is excellent for any child to enjoy reading or a whole family listening to it. So, I recommend this to anyone.
