Emily Elizabeth has a big red dog--the biggest, reddest dog on her
street, and his name is Clifford. How big is he? He''s so big that
when he runs after cars, he catches them in his mouth, and his
doghouse is bigger than Emily Elizabeth''s house. Needless to say,
he makes an excellent watchdog. Children love the idea of the
things you could do and the fun you could have with a giant dog,
and Norman Bridwell''s delightful, Clifford-proof board-book edition
will not disappoint. Bab

關於作者:
There?’s no denying that kids love Clifford?. The Big
Red Dog? has been a favorite since Norman Bridwell created
him over 40 years ago. "I was working as a commercial artist in New
York City. There wasn?’t much work, so I made some sample pictures
and took them to several publishers. They all rejected my work. But
one editor suggested that I try writing a book of my own to
illustrate. I had done a painting of a little girl with a big red
dog. That seemed like a funny idea, so I made up a story about
them. I increased the dog?’s size from as big as a horse to as big
as a house. My wife named the dog Clifford, and we named the little
girl Emily Elizabeth after our daughter. In three days I had
written the story and drawn the pictures for Clifford The Big Red
Dog. When Scholastic called and said they wanted the book, I was
stunned." Bridwell, who grew up in Kokomo, Indiana, lives now on
Martha?’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, with his wife, Norma. For more
