THE BIG LEAF PILE
Clifford, Cleo, and T-Bone are having fun gathering leaves into piles. When T-Bone has to leave, Clifford and Cleo offer to watch his pile for him until he returns. But the temptation to jump into T-Bone's pile is too great, and soon T-Bone's leaves are scattered everywhere! Clifford and Cleo rescue every leaf and restore T-Bone's pile. When T-Bone returns, they all enjoy the leaf piles together.

TUMMY TROUBLE
Emily Elizabeth gives Clifford a treat when he does a trick. But when she leaves, Clifford's poodle friend, Cleo, takes it upon herself to give out treats to Clifford, T-Bone, and herself — for standing, rolling over, and just being silly. Before long, three giant containers full of doggie treats are empty. And three dogs have very big tummies! Emily Elizabeth comes home and reassures Clifford that even when he makes mistakes, he's the best dog in the world.

It's Emily Elizabeth's turn to take Wally, the classroom pet, home for the weekend. Little does she know, when she asks Clifford to watch Wally, how much trouble a little bunny can cause. When Cleo and T-Bone come by and ask to play with Wally, Clifford opens the door to Wally's cage, and... hippity-hop! Wally is out the door! Clifford, Cleo, and T-Bone take off after the bunny with little success until the exhausted trio finally find Wally chewing on a flower at Farmer Green's. Clever Clifford ties a carrot to his tail, and Wally follows Clifford all the way home.
