This beautiful vintage hardcover edition of Clifford the Small Red Puppy features Norman Bridwell's iconic 1972 two-colour artwork.

So Emily Elizabeth made a special wish ... and it came true in a BIG way! Friendship and humour abound in this story of how Clifford grew into the Big Red Dog readers have loved for generations. Fans of all sizes will delight in discovering Clifford's origin story in its original form.
