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.

By A Customer

This review is from: Tiny Family, A (level 1) (Hello Reader! (DO NOT USE, please choose level and binding)) (Paperback)

In Tiny Family a miniature family living in a garden is terrified when a girl takes their umbrella. They bravely make an expedition to the girl's house to retrieve the umbrella when they come face to face with the "giant." Expressive, humorous illustrations add to this beginning-to- read fantasy.
