  The Big Red Dog is feeling blue. Emily Elizabeth and her friends try everything to cheer him up but nothing works . . . until Emily writes a happy song for him.

  Clifford is depressed and his friends spend the book trying to cheer him up. I'd have been more interested if Bridwell had explored the source of his depression. Is it remorse or regret for all the havoc he has wreaked over the years? Or has he realized that his size precludes the possibility of ever having conventional sex? Which then raises the question of whether or not Clifford is fixed. If not, could Emily Elizabeth's family be able to afford paying for all of his destruction and food by selling tubfuls of his sperm for people interested in duplicating his color and size in their dog-breeding programs? How would the harvesting be managed? How deep is this rabbit hole?

  This book is not a literary dream or work of art. But, children enjoy stories about familiar characters and Clifford is one of those iconic characters who has spanned generations. I like that this book is written in a song so I can sing a lot of the book to my kids. I think that they like that too.

  I loved this story because it shows a main theme of Valentine's Day (kindness) without involving romance in any way. I wish there were more stories like this for kids that don't deal with romance. I would recommend this to students in grades K-2.

  It was one of the best books I ever read. It was really sweet and I think I would read it again. The song was sweet. Someone who likes dogs and being creative and the color red and big things will probably like this book.

  That song felt like it went on forever as the singer of it, but these kids love Clifford too.

  Clifford was feeling down; and nothing was making him feel better. Everyone tried to make him feel better and nothing was doing the trick. But Emily Elizabeth wrote a song and sang it to him. In this book it has the song for our children to sing to.

  Norman Bridwell has probably wrote a billion different Clifford books within his career and every single one varies slightly from any other Clifford story. Every time I see a Clifford book or even see a red dog, I immediately reminisce on my elementary days when there would be a cool book fair set up in the library (Scholastic Book Fair) and some years a life sized Clifford was there! This particular Clifford book teaches a few valuable hidden lessons about true friendships and how they can effect people's feelings. Clifford was sad about something so all of the girls tried to make him happier but fail each time until they make him a song and then suddenly, he's a little bit happier and the entire crisis is averted. Clifford can do it all I swear.

  What? Another Clifford book? How many does the school own?!? I remember being a huge Clifford fan myself at his age, but now, not so much! ;)
  
  The book was same old Clifford...a bit difficult for me to read because half of it was a song, so I improvised the tune and sorta made it into a hip-hop version, haha! There is music and lyrics in the back though. Good story about trying to cheer up a friend.

  Clifford shows how dogs have emotions too and how we as owners must care for them and try to cheer them up, so that they too can be happy.
  
  With this book children can learn about feelings and how we should express those feelings to people that we care about so that they know how we are feeling.
  
  This book can be used in the classroom around Valentine's Day to show children how to express our feelings to our loved ones.

  My 6 year old son borrowed this book from our local library.
  
  In this book, Clifford is sad. Emily Elizabeth tries all sorts of things trying to make Clifford happy. Nothing seemed to work. She then decides to write him a song that is all about how special he is and how much she loves him.
  
  Written with easy text, but my son needed a little help with some of the words. Colorful illustrations.

  My little cousin always asks me to read the Clifford books to her.
  She seems to really enjoy them, like I did when I was little.
  Clifford is a true "little-kid" classic.
