Clifford the Big Red Dog is an enduring American children's book series that began being published in 1963. Written by Norman Bridwell, they helped establish Scholastic Books as a premier publishing company.
Clifford was the runt of the litter, and was chosen by a city kid named Emily Elizabeth Howard as her birthday present. No one expected Clifford to grow, but Emily Elizabeth's love for her puppy changed Clifford dramatically. Before long, he was over 25 feet tall, forcing the Howard family to leave the city and move to the open spaces of Birdwell Island. Birdwell is an anagram of author Norman Bridwell's last name.
Scholastic Studios produced a successful television adaptation shown on PBS Kids, aired from 2000 to 2003, but still reruns currently.
