Books by Norman Bridwell
Everyone wants to give their special friend Clifford a special birthday present. But the blow-up ball gets blown up, the piñata gets smashed, the sweater is too small, and the beauty parlor gift certificate just didn't seem exactly right. Finally, Clifford gets the best present of all when his family there to celebrate with him. The BE BIG campaign invites everyone, big and small, to take action and raise awareness for how CLIFFORD'S BIG IDEAS can make the world a better place.
This is the book that started it all. Clifford The Big Red Dog, by Norman Bridwell, was first published in 1963. Since then, the Clifford book series has been published in 12 languages and are distributed worldwide.
