Customer Reviews

Great beginning of the year read-aloud

I read this book with my first graders on the first day of school to talk about behavior expectations. We based our class rules on it!

Helpful for teaching manners

I found this book very helpful for teaching my twin sons good manners. They relate to animals.

Fun t o learn

My son is 4 and loves this book! This book is good learning tool for little ones that love clifford.

best book we ever bought

Though (. . .) some of the examples being a bit odd for a preschooler, it's been one of the best books we ever bought for our son (then 2 yrs, now almost 4.) Our son absolutely adors Clifford and we use him (and the book) as a role model. When he starts, or does, something naughty, we'll ask, "Would Clifford do that?" Sounds kinda hokey, but it works. I so highly recommend this book and have bought it for others as a gift.

Surprisingly useful!

My 4 year old daughter found this book very interesting for a few weeks. I didn't like some of the examples it used, but only because they required a lot of explanation. It gave us a good starting point to talk about some manners, but also things like movies and the game of tennis. My daughter had never been to a movie before, so Clifford's advice not to disturb others needed some explanation. And showing a game of tennis to preschoolers seemed odd to me, to suggest playing by the rules!
