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 is a really cute book about how sometimes you are just "blue" and if you watch the show on PBS, it tells where the theme song came from. Too cute!

This review is from: Clifford, We Love You (Paperback)

Clifford is such a big hit with my first grade students! They love his adventures with Emily Elizabeth and the song and beat presented in this book are catchy and fun. I feel this book is appropriate for read aloud to young children, and for independent reading by children up to age 8.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Clifford, We Love You (Clifford 8x8) (Paperback)

Clifford the big red dog. In this book clifford is very sad. They try many thing to make him feel better. Noting works. All the neighbor kid tryed to help cheer him but i never worked. So Emily thought of somthing after a while and it worked. It mad Clifford happy again. This book kind of backflashes about all the times Cliffod and Emily spent together.

This book is a easier read for younger childern. Older kids will like it too.

The pictures in this book are colorful. The show Clifford the big red dog and how he feels. This was a good book.
