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.

This review is from: Clifford To The Rescue (Clifford 8x8) (Paperback)

Clifford helps catch bank robbers and the chase involves guns. My son wanted to know why those men had guns. Can be scary for younger children who you don't want exposed to guns.

This review is from: Clifford To The Rescue (Clifford 8x8) (Paperback)

Although the pictures in this book are taken from several previous Clifford books, this book is still a favorite of my students. Clifford to the Rescue references the nine books it is made from, so you can match the pictures. Two other compliation books are: Oops Clifford! and Clifford Grows Up.

DO NOT buy this book! This book is for 4 year olds and the cops and robbers that Clifford encounters are pointing guns at each other. I am not one for censorship but this book, for the youngest readers, features guns which is not appropriate. Buy any other Clifford book. ....
