About the Clifford TV Shows

Both Clifford's Puppy Days and Clifford The Big Red Dog are based on the beloved Clifford books by Norman Bridwell. Each half-hour TV episode contains two 11-minute stories that support one or more of Clifford's 10 Big Ideas. These ten ideas represent social and emotional challenges that young children face and must master in the course of development. To help "bring home," Clifford's Big Ideas, check our related Offline Activities.

During each TV episode, Clifford and Emily ElizabethTM also read a "Speckle" story together. To see a video clip of a "Speckle" story and other clips from the shows, go to the See & Hear area of the site.
