Clifford The Big Red Dog
Designed for children ages 3-7, the animated television series is based on the books of the same name and uses classic storytelling to present universal social, emotional, and moral messages to young children. These fun-filled episodes follow Clifford and his pals (both canine and human) as they play, discover and interact with each other and the inhabitants of Birdwell Island, learning that good friends are what life is all about. The stories are fun, gentle and kid-relatable — they deal with issues that kids are experiencing: whether it's bragging, not wanting to share or learning that telling the truth is the best policy. More importantly, though, they learn that the world is out there to be discovered with gusto.
The series' educational messages, Clifford's Big Ideas, focus on simple, tangible life lessons that are designed to help young children navigate their world as they become part of an ever-expanding community.
Clifford's Puppy Days
Clifford may be the biggest dog that ever was, but he wasn't always that way. As true fans know, Clifford was actually the runt of his litter—a teeny tiny, bright red bundle of energy. Emily Elizabeth fell in love with Little Clifford at first sight. It's hard to believe, but back in his puppy days Clifford barely filled Emily Elizabeth's dad's palm—he was, however, still quite the handful! Making his way in the big world was no small feat for this tiny pup, but even back then he had the same huge heart and good humor that win him friends and fans anywhere he goes.
The same ideas are the backbone of the Clifford The Big Red Dog series are also part of the Clifford's Puppy Days series, although they are referred to as Clifford's Ideas to Grow On.
