The Big Red Dog

Hello, readers!
Today I'll review the Clifford: The Big Red Dog series by Norman Bridwell.
The main character is a girl, Emily Elizabeth, and her beloved dog, Clifford. Now, Clifford was much bigger than other dogs- as big as a house- and he was also the color red!
Emily Elizabeth got the dog from a neighbor who's dog had tiny puppies. The neighbor offered that she could take one home.
She wanted a little red dog, but the neighbor told her it was a runt and would always be sick.
However, she still chose the little red dog and named him Clifford. But soon, Clifford became as big as a house and they had to move to the country!
Clifford and Emily Elizabeth are best friends and they have many adventures with each other, along with other dogs and Emily Elizabeth's friends.
There are many books in the series, including Clifford's Halloween, Clifford Runs to Story Time, Clifford's Happy Mother's Day and many more. There are also special editions too.
Norman Bridwell has also written The Witch Next Door, which is about a kind witch. He got the idea of Clifford when he read about a large working dog in Belgium who used to pull carts.
These books are recommended for preschoolers to age eight.
I love these books because they are really nice and have great ideas!
