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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clifford's Birthday Party, March 25, 2006
This review is from: Clifford's Birthday Party (Paperback)
ISBN 0590442791 - There is a review on Amazon that says that the book shows "how they grew up" - that is inaccurate. The book is about one day, Clifford's birthday, and the party his family has for him.

For parents who worry about the messages in the books their kids read, there is a potentially bothersome message here. Clifford's friends don't bother to show up for the party because they couldn't find gifts good enough for Clifford. If you, like me, just want books to entertain your kids and hook them on reading, Clifford's Birthday Party is worth picking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, June 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Clifford's Birthday Party (Paperback)
My 2 and 1/2 year old son love to read Clifford books and this one is so much fun. The pictures are bold and exciting and tell more about the story. This book fosters creativity and lets children be imaginitive (for example children can predict what is inside Clifford's wrapped gifts.) It is fun to watch Clifford as he opens his presents and to see how he enjoys each one. Buy and enjoy.
