In this Clifford book, Clifford is left behind when Emily Elizabeth and her family go on vacation (too far for Clifford to walk). While my toddler would love any Clifford book right now, this is one of his favorites since it has a bus on the cover, and bears and a semi-truck inside. Plus, we both love the ending!

We are huge Clifford fans in our home. I remember first falling in love with this fantastic big red dog when I was in second, and I absolutely love that Scholastic continues to introduce young readers to Clifford.

Clifford isn't one to be left behind, and when Emily Elizabeth and her family head out for a weekend camping trip, Clifford is heartbroken. He quickly finds himself making his way to Emily Elizabeth. Along the way Clifford ends up helping people who need it, including Emily. This is a delightful read and one my kids enjoyed just as much as I did.

My 6 year old son is a big fan of Clifford and reading. We got several of the books, and he really looks forward to using these for practice.

I received this product in a very timely manner and it was in excellent condition.

My 2.5 year old really likes the Clifford books. The reading and stories are simple and easy to understand.

We're big Clifford fans in my household (as evidenced by other highly positive book reviews! really!). I had high hopes for this classic Clifford from 1966, but we should have skipped this book. The reality is that I have to teach my 4 and 6 year old boys how to react if they encounter a bear (or mountain lion), which is a real probability even in residential areas around here. Picking up and hugging bear cubs has a good chance of leading to your demise. Yes, Clifford saves Emily's day (and life), but it's just inconvenient to have to remind my boys that this is just a pretend story and don't count on Clifford. Time to move on to a Clifford book we can simply enjoy without the safety reminder from Dad.

Clifford is such a hero. Having watched more episodes than I like to admit, the Big Red Dog and Emily Elizabeth show what true friendship means. My children love the accompanying audio, which is especially great for expat families or those who do not have immediate access to PBS. Clifford saves the day again in this short book about a family trip that ends up short of disaster, thanks to Clifford!

Christine Louise Hohlbaum, author of Diary of a Mother: Parenting Stories and Other Stuff and Sahm I Am: Tales of a Stay-at-Home Mom in Europe, lives near Munich, Germany, with her husband and two little Clifford fans.

this book is hopeful because of the fact that he wanted to make sure everything was alright and so he traveled just to do so and they all thanked him in the end of his journey because he saved his owner.

I bought this book on cassette for my 21/2 yr old son to listen to on the airplane, since it was about a vacation. He watches Clifford every day and loves the book. Although, I don't like the part about Emily Elizabeth playing with bear cubs and the mama bear comes along and Clifford saves the day and they are all friends. I think they could have written something different.
