"I also read this book to my little sister. She loves "Clifford the Big Red Dog". I like this book and the other Clifford books Norman Bridwell wrote because they aren't all about things that are so unrealistic, except for the fact that the dogs talk to the humans and the size of Clifford. Amanda liked this book because Emily, Clifford's owner, talked about all of the things she likes to do with Clifford. My sister, including me, agreed it would be cool to have a dog that you could talk to and so big that you could ride him to school. I would recommend this book for toddlers up to the age of 6 or 7 because the reading level is easy and the books, especially this one, are easy for that age group to comprehend what is going on."

" Clifford books are always fun, especially for young children! He is a great character who always teaches a lesson in the end. "
— Sharmin, 2/20/2014" Clifford is memorable for his color and size, but not necessarily brilliant writing. "
— Megan, 2/10/2014" This series of books are an easy read for developing readers/ELLs. I really like the idea of students reading these books in that the pictures depict exactly what is going on in the text. I like that there is a cartoon series on PBS for children because this is something else that helps ELL students with capturing what they have read in the books. Not saying that students should watch television all afternoon, just that this could be a good way for students to reenforce their reading or interpretation of what they have read. "

— Chani, 1/20/2014" I like the Clifford books for ages 2-5 because they teach good life lessons and are not too long. They keep the kids' interest and they're mildly funny too. "

— Andrea, 3/16/2012" This was a horrifying novel of suspense and thrill. I literally defacated in my trousers. A blood red hounddog with an english 6 year old prostitute aquaintence gives me shivers just looking at the cover. Excuse me, I need to clean up. "
