Clifford's Birthday Party,
By
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. - AnnaLovesBooks

Great book,
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.
