Clifford the Big Red Dog
32 pages · First published 1963
Emily Elizabeth has a dog named Clifford whose extraordinary size makes ordinary pet activities anything but ordinary. Clifford’s attempts to play, help, and behave like other dogs frequently create outsized comic consequences, but his affection and loyalty are equally enormous. Emily Elizabeth accepts him without wishing he were more manageable. Norman Bridwell’s picture-book classic launched a long-running series by turning the simple fantasy of a gigantic pet into a warm celebration of friendship and unconditional love.
