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.

Books are always a challenge when your audience is under the age of 7 months! This one not only captivated my son with its colorful pictures but made him laugh aloud! A definate keeper, we read it over and over...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!, March 11, 2009

By	Dr. Mom - See all my reviews

I have had this book through all of my 6 children (this was a replacment). It is short, has easy to turn board pages, and the children love the animal pictures and sounds. It is great from birth to 3+years. This is a must in any children book collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining book for even the youngest baby, June 8, 2003

By A Customer

I started reading this book to my son when he was about 8 weeks old. He's 8- months now and we read it nearly everyday. No matter how fussy or distracted he may be, he always stops, looks and smiles when I begin reading this book. He LOVES the animal sounds!
