Clifford the Big Red Dog by Norman Bridwell

Title: Clifford the Big Red Dog
Author/Illustrator: Norman Bridwell
Board Book: 32 Pages
Reading Level: Ages 2 - 5
Publisher: Scholastic Inc.

Clifford is a BIG, red dog. He belongs to Emily Elizabeth. She loves her dog more than any other dogs. She feeds him, bathes him and provides him a dog house to stay. She even takes him to dog shows. And, Clifford is a loyal watchdog too. He keeps an eye on bad boys and burglars. He loves playing hide and seek with Emily. But, like other dogs, he makes mistakes too. Like he runs after cars, throws sticks and chews shoes. He is playful, silly and and mischievous. Emily loves her dog and will keep Clifford no matter what.

The Big, Red Clifford dog has fascinated kids for many generations and you will find all sorts of story books, toys, TV shows and video CD's related to it. My daughter is totally crazy about this cute, big dog. She loves to read this book over and over again and it has been one of her favorites for a long time now. She learns a lot from it too. It teaches her what good and bad behaviors are. It talks about loyalty and caring for pets as well. We haven't tried other books in the Clifford series, but I am sure she would like them all. When we make a trip to the library, She always find the big, red Clifford perched up on the shelf and demands to hold it while I browse the shelves. She would lug it around within the library and she would mostly end up crying when its time to put it back. I don't think she could get enough of this adorable little (sorry, BIG) red dog. 

My Rating: 4.5/5
