Clifford the small red puppy by Norman Bridwell
This audio book has first section with turn page signals. Second half is without the signals.
Emily Elizabeth is the reader and she describes the story. She tells her friend how she got Clifford.
The story follows how the puppy grows up and how they learned along the way.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

A cute book with Clifford's origin story. It is very interesting to see why Clifford is a big as he is.
As with the first Clifford book, simple narration and nice pictures.
Overall, and interesting and entertaining book.

This is a classic children’s picture book. A cute story about a young girl and her “runt of the litter” puppy named Clifford. As Clifford is shown love he grows and grows and grows into a huge puppy!

I liked Clifford, but he wouldn't be on the top of my priority list for my own future kids.

When I saw this at the library one day I knew I had to borrow it. Having red one of the other clifford books in my childhood years and loved it I had to see if this book still carried its magic. Nice trip down memory lane.

My children love the Clifford cartoons that run on PBS: Clifford the Big Red Dog and Clifford's Puppy Days. They also enjoy Clifford the Big Red Dog by Norman Birdwell. A common question for both of them is: "How did Clifford get so big when he was so small?" Clifford the Small Red Puppy answers the question and if I had just bothered to check out the book sooner from my library, I could have given my kids the answer quicker!
Clifford as anyone who has watched the Puppy Days cartoon knows was a teeny tiny puppy. He's too small for the smallest collar. As the book explains, not only was he small, he was also a sickly runt. Emily Elizabeth though takes to him and decides to give him a home and is told by her parents that he probably won't survive the winter.
But everyone knows Clifford somehow as an adult is a thriving, healthy giant dog. Runts of the litter do sometimes go on to be the strongest but it's a difficult and up hill battle. The answer for Clifford's success is wrapped up in a little bit of magical realism and follows similar logic used in The Shrinking of Treehorn (link to review).
The solution delighted both of my children and finally put to bed the question of how come Clifford is so big. If you want to know how, go read Clifford the Small Red Puppy. It's a short and delightful book.
