Clifford's Family Reviews

  Clifford and Emily Elizabeth go on a road trip to visit Clifford's siblings and parents and give young readers a quick peek into the lives of guide, firehouse, and herding dogs. It's nice to find out the names of big brother Nero, big sister Bonnie, and little sister Claudia, but why don't his parents get names?

  Meet Clifford's family! The Big Red Dog's mother, father, brother, and sisters are scattered all over a big city and live very different lives. They may all live apart, but they will always love each other. And they all make their owners very, very happy!

  Probably somewhere around a level 1 reading book that we all love, mostly because it's big, adorable, lovable Clifford. This is a great one to read if you have a different family structure or even if you're child is learning about what family means in social studies class. Great pictures and enjoyed by all ages in my family, it's also good for beginner readers.

  This book tells the heartwarming story of Clifford's family and the different lives they each lead. Yet, while they each lead different lives outside of their family, they always come back to their home and have one fundamental thing they share in common which is love.

  This was an excellent book to describe the aspect of family. The book also contrasted city and farm life. The pictures were phenomenal. Like all Clifford books, the friendship between a dog and it's owner was presented.

  Everyone's favorite Big Red Dog, Clifford, takes a trip with Emily Elizabeth (Emilia Isabel) to visit his family. Clifford has a big family, but he is a big dog, so it is no surprise that his family each has a big job! His sister is a seeing-eye dog, and his brother is a firedog. His other sister is a sheepdog in the country, and his father herds children. Clifford is so proud of his family! A great book that introduces children to different working-dog jobs in the city and the country.

  Our copy is from Kohl's and is bound in the same hardcover book as "Clifford the Big Red Dog." Robert would call this a five-star. I do like the different types of working dogs Clifford's siblings represent, as well as the different places people (and dogs) can live. My one complaint is that the illustrations don't seem to be of as good quality as in the first book. I doubt Robert notices, but I do, and it bugs me.

  Clifford visits his relatives--each relative has a different life/occupation. A fun book for pre-schoolers--mostly pictures -- one sentence max per page.

  This story talks about all the members of Clifford's family and the type of work they do.

  Another book from Nicole. I think she likes the story of how my youngest sister liked them also.

  What is it like to watch your loved ones die?
  
  This is the monolithic question Clifford faces, over and over again, as he's forced to watch his family be ripped from the Earth in an agonizing departure.
  
  Yes, Clifford is a great beast.
  
  No, he is incapable of keeping those he holds in his heart safe from the greater beasts of the outer realms. Clifford, descending from the 4th dimension (ruled by the catatonic giga-god G'rethaulxt), is not without power, but certainly is without hope. The beings that tower over this failed Guardian of Dog play with his newly formed and humanistic emotions like a mutt plays with a chew toy, crawling its teeth into the artificial orifices, letting it scream a mighty "PEEEEE-HEEEEEEW" as it releases its last breath.
  
  Clifford repeats the same day, every single day, for eternity. Emily Elizabeth attempted to summon Clifford's ancestors to join him in his renewal of life on Earth but...something went wrong. Her summon used an improper form, a wretched witch had betrayed her. And so, the warping of reality came with its shifts and its pulls, its leering fates and forbidden tortures.
  
  Clifford is powerless. He cannot save his family, as they are, each day, tortured and ripped from their womb of safety, being torn into the infinite creatures that rest behind the gates of the universe.
  
  Clifford cannot scream, as his family screams for him.
  
  4/5.

  I love reading Clifford stories and watching the two series with my children! We enjoy the stories that are told through Emily Elizabeth and Clifford's best friends. If you are looking for something morally correct and wholesome to share, the Clifford series by Norman Bridwell are the books for you!

  This is a good book for beginner readers. Children from all grade levels enjoy reading these classics. These are AR book for anyone who might need to know. This is a cute story that gives us a little of Clifford's background. I would recommend this book to others.

  For: Clifford/dog fans; readers looking for a book about the importance of family, even when separated.
  
  Possible red flags: one's family having their own/newer families.
