Clifford is a big red dog who is as big as a house, though he started as the smallest pup in the litter. His owner, a little girl named Emily Elizabeth, loves him dearly and cares for him, even though his size causes complications. In short, simple scenes, Clifford plays, eats, and gets into things, such as chasing a car or bounding after a ball. Norman Bridwell's picture book uses a few lines of text on each page and bold, bright illustrations, and the story is built on affection between a child and her pet.
It suits young children and early readers, and it works as a cheerful bedtime read for families.
Practical, outward-looking, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
