Clifford can't stop scratching an itch on his back. He even rubs his back against an apple tree--until all the apples fall! Emily Elizabeth wants to take him to the vet, but he doesn't want to go. Finally he learns to trust her, and the vet helps make it all better. Funny and touching, this Big Red Reader is just right for beginning readers.
The Big Itch (Clifford the Big Red Dog) Reviews
-
My daughter was a toddler shortly after the Clifford animated series debuted on PBS so we've accumulated a lot of books tied into that show. This one has Alison Inches and Robbin Cuddy making a reader out of "An Itchy Patch" (Season 1, Episode 7, September 12, 2000, original television script by Anne-Marie Perrotta and Tean Schultz).
Clifford has an itch, but he'd rather keep trying various ways to scratch it than go to the veterinarian to see what's causing it. It's a dull but decent story addressing anxiety about visiting the doctor. -
I've loved Clifford since I was a young girl, way before the PBS cartoon. Now my kids get to enjoy him too. We all love the Clifford books and this one was no exception.

Our girls enjoy reading books in the
Clifford series. They are starting to outgrow the books, but for now they still admit they like them. This is a good story about being afraid to go to the doctor (or in this case, vet). It shows that doctors are kind and helpful. Good, simple narrative for beginning readers and colorful illustrations highlight this tale. The illustrations are from the PBS Kids television show and, thank heavens, Emily Elizabeth does not have her soulless eyes as she typically does in the original books by
Norman Bridwell. -
Clifford has a big itch that he tries to get rid of on his own, he is afraid of seeing the new vet. But in the end the vet is very nice and he sees it's not that bad and feels much better. This book is very easy read so would be okay for a beginner reader.

I like how T-bone reassured Cleo that Clifford is not Alone at the vet's office. "...she would never let anyone hurt him," said T-bone.
I like this book...it just made me feel itchy :) -
The Big Itch
Inches, Alison
continuation of the Clifford series -
Clifford has a problem that most dogs do but he uses other things to scratch against, houses, garages, etc. This is a funny adventure.
-
Surprisingly, this one wasn't NEARLY as stupid as most of the other Clifford books that are based on the TV show.
-
It was an amusing read. I remember watching the episode version of this when I was small, good old memories. :)
-
I appreciated the "Do you remember" questions at the end of the story.
Helpful to make kids think back through what they just read or heard. -
We love any book about Clifford the BIG RED DOG! :)
