Outline Clifford the big red dog is everyone's best friend. Now, when it's time to go to school, Clifford will be right there beside you, learning about colors, numbers, shapes, and the letters of the alphabet. Clifford's Schoolhouse is a big house-shaped board book with more than 60 flaps to lift. Peek behind the multicolored windows of the school to discover purple plums, green leaves, and orange pumpkins. Venture inside to find numbered cubbies with one lunchbox, two boots, three hats, and so on up to ten bones--Clifford's nose is parked right outside that cubby. Then it's time to learn the ABCs, explore shapes, and read some stories (lift the flap of a tiny book called "Rabbits" by Harold Hopper to see a picture of an ensconced bunny and the text: "A rabbit lives in a burrow").
Norman Bridwell's Clifford series (Clifford the Big Red Dog, etc.) is always a favorite with the preschool and early elementary set. Goofy yet protective--and as big as a house--Clifford is the perfect pet (although he's probably pretty expensive to feed). Young readers will love playing school with Clifford and his friend Emily Elizabeth in this simple book that covers all the basics. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter

Clifford is Wonderful Feb 12, 2008
Clifford is a wonderful children's character. Before Clifford was a Big Red Dog, he was a small red puppy. This is a good book for 3-100. It is about a big red dog that went to live with a girl named Emily Elizabeth who raised him and showed Clifford how to have a big heart. I think this book is wonderful for kids while learning to read.
I loved this book when I was 3 years old and I still love it and now I am 12. I just think that it is a fun book to read because it feels like you are with Clifford when he goes on his adventures. My favorite book of the ones that Bridwell has written is definitely Clifford's Schoolhouse. I just love the pictures and the flaps to the book. It comes in hard cover and paperback.
I really hope that my book review helped. I hope that you will buy this book for your child. I promise you they will like it for years to come.

More than you expect Aug 3, 2007
This book has achieved suprisingly long-lived popularity among my two kids, who are now ages 6 and 4. They've enjoyed this book on and off for years. While other books will get some attention and then are dropped, this is one they seem to keep coming back to.
Though it's only 10 pages, there's a lot here: shapes, colors, numbers, letter and basic nursery rhymes. The kids love the tactical fun of the lift-a-flap discoveries, and that's a good way for them to learn.
