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.

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 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.

I was not happy with the condition of the book. The front cover was bent in half. I would not recommend this vendor to anyone.

What an amazing experience Clifford and Emily Elizabeth had! Storm was brewing! Trees were bending from the wind! Lightening was flashing! Everyone had to leave the beach...They even had to venture to a shelter! My grandchildren had a real-life experience similar to this just his summer! How great to have their friend Clifford go through the same thing. Reading the story gave us the opportunity to re-live and talk about some of the same experiences they had in the comfort of our cozy home! They know Clifford's adventure was pretend, but it certainly helped them with their own real-life adventure and disappointing day at the beach.

Bought several of these books for my 6 year old, and he's flying through them voraciously. He loves to read, loves Clifford, so it was a perfect match.

My 2-3/4 yr old grandson loves Clifford and this is his favorite of the books now. I read it to him at least 3-4 times in the past couple visits. He can recite sections by heart. His grandfather was reading it today and misread the word "rescue" as a similar "r" word and my grandson quickly corrected him.
He repeats to me that the grandmother is "worried about her house" but Clifford saves the house and it' all "OK".
