Clifford the Big Red Dog® is one classic that has been around for years. The story of Emily Elizabeth, a little blond haired girl, who adopts a very small red pup who is the runt of the litter. She was told her dog would grow up small and sick, but she gave her little puppy so much love that it grew to be the biggest dog in the world. In order to keep her dog, she and her family move from the city to the county where Clifford and Emily find many new friends, but no one as a dog as big as Clifford! He's friendly, big-hearted, loyal, fun-loving, and sweet. Clifford is a kid at heart, representing the pre-school audience with their hopes, dreams, and fears. His reactions to situations are wide-eyed and innocent, he learns from his mistakes, and he doesn't think twice about standing up for what is right. He thinks like a dog, acts like a dog, smells like a dog—hey! he is a dog!
