Big Red Readers

by Josephine Page (Adopted By), Ken Edwards (Illustrator)

Clifford, T-Bone, and Cleo have eaten too many Doggie Doodles in this easy-to-read story that is based upon an episode of the Clifford PBS-TV series.

Emily Elizabeth le da una golosina a Clifford cada vez que éste hace un truco. Pero cuando Emily Elizabeth se marcha, Cleo, la perrita poodle amiga de Clifford, comienza a repartir las golosinas entre Clifford, T-Bone y ella misma por hacer trucos como pararse, dar una vuelta o cualquier otra cosa. Muy pronto, el frasco gigante de golosinas para perros está vacío. ¡Ay! Al final del libro hay una página de actividades para reafirmar la comprensión de la lectura.

Clifford and his dog friends, T-Bone and Cleo, raid the treat boxes while Emily Elizabeth is away. I was amused by the dogs' rationalizations for why they deserved more treats. The ending is a bit weak, but the dogs do learn a hard lesson.

FOR REFERENCE:

Adapted by Josephine Page and illustrator Ken Edwards from the television script "Tummy Trouble" by Lois Becker and Mark Stratton for the Clifford the Big Red Dog PBS Kids animated series, Season 1, Episode 5, September 8, 2000.

A pretty simple children's story. Clifford and his friends eat too many treats and end up with a tummy ache.

Such a sweet book. I've always loved Clifford growing up and the moral of the story is always very well taught.

Important lesson to take from this: Limit how much you eat. Over-eating can lead to a horrible stomach ache, especially sweets/treats.

I did not like this book because I do not like to get sick. I also did not like this book because Clifford got sick in this book.

Clifford the Big Red Dog is a great favorite. His eagerness to please his owner, Emily Elizabeth, and his antics with his friends are themes which young children can relate to. In this story, Clifford is doing tricks in order to get treats from Emily Elizabeth. When she leaves suddenly, his friends decide they can all get treats for doing tricks. Many tricks and too many treats lead to the inevitable tummy aches. With large type, short sentences,and repeating words and phrases, this story is definitely an "easy reader". Beginning readers will be able to navigate the vocabulary and use the bright pictures of the familiar characters to help figure out any words they have difficulty with. The illustrations are drawn in bright, primary colors and echo the action in the story.
Although this is a fun story and a good "easy reader", I do not feel it would be considered for a Theodore Geisel Award. The Clifford books are playful, but not particularly creative or "individually distinct". The story is predictable and the illustrations are fairly basic. Children will enjoy the story but may not be challenged by it.

Clifford the Big Red Dog is always a classic for children learning to read. The large font and few sentences to each page are perfect for new readers, yet there are enough illustrations to keep them interested still. Poor little Clifford eats way too many treats with his friends and they all end up very sick. The little girl comes home and helps make them feel a little bit better. This is a sweet story that could have a theme of "follow the rules" or you will have consequences. I would recommend this book to new readers grades 1-2 who are ready to move past picture books.

This is not one of the better Clifford books, it's almost word for word (shortened of course) of the television show. It does teach children to not overeat however and that is good. But other than that there isn't much of a story here.

I only gave this 2 stars because it had too many words and not enough pictures. Would not read again :(

Oh no, Clifford has a bellyache and its up to his family and friends to help the lovable giant dog. This is a sweet tale of friendship and love.

Another Clifford book. This one focuses on the desire to keep eating treats until you get a tummy ache. Simple words for early readers. Not a fantastic story.

I liked this book. It tells you that you shouldn't steal.

[Amanda Schwind · Rating 3 out of 5]

I appreciate the comprehension and reselling prompts that are included at the end of the story to encourage conversation and higher level thinking.
