Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2002 | Age Level: 4 and up | Series: Clifford

Children will learn the days of the week in this new storybook by Norman Bridwell.

It's Sunday, and Clifford and Emily Elizabeth are going to visit her grandma. But Clifford can't find Mr. Squeaky, his favorite toy mouse! Emily Elizabeth and Clifford return to the places they visited the previous week to look for Mr. Squeaky. On Monday, they went to the playground--no Mr. Squeaky. On Tuesday, they went to the farmer's market--no Mr. Squeaky. Mr. Squeaky isn't at the amusement park they visited on Wednesday, either. Eventually, they find Mr. Squeaky at Grandma's, but not before they look in a pig pen at a farm, and in the water under the dock. Clifford had a busy week!

Editorial Reviews

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.
