Clifford and the Grouchy Neighbors

My friend's Grandson loves this book. He is two and he always wants it checked out at the library so we decided to buy the book. He was really happy to get the book.

This book lets kids talk about being grouchy and explore feelings other than the stress of always being happy. Great read- we might have read it about 1,000 times by now... Poor Clifford in the parking lot of the grocery store...

This was an excellent book. I don't like how they treated Clifford in the beginning, but then at the end they liked him because he protected the birds. Don't judge before you get to know someone.

Clifford and the Grouchy Neighbors was Written and Illustrated by Norman Bridwell, and was published in 1985. Clifford and the Grouchy Neighbors is a book about a Girl named Emily Elizabeth and a Big Red-Dog named Clifford. Emily and Clifford had neighbors who didn't like Clifford at all! And when Clifford tried to visit they never paid attention to him at all. We he slept he would interrupt their sleep and bother them. When the grouchy lady sang, Clifford would sing too, but a little to loudly and damaged the window. Clifford would be so big that he would block then sun from their plants. And when he saw that they were ever in help he would try but would only make it worse. The neighbors yelled and yelled. But when finally one day Clifford saw that their birds were in trouble with a cat...Clifford vacuumed the cat right up! Then the neighbors thanked him for saving their birds. And told him he wasn't a bad dog after all! This book is a good book for children. It can teach them that if something or someone does all this uncalled for stuff they don't mean to do... that in the mean time it can turn out that someone can do something really good for you or even save someone else.

NO MATTER HOW HARD CLIFFORD TRIED, HIS NEIGHBORS DID NOT LIKE HIM. THEY FELT HE SNORED TOO LOUD, HE SHEDDED TOO MUCH, AND HE BLOCKED THEIR SUNLIGHT. AFTER CLIFFORD SAVED THEIR BIRDS FROM BEING DISTURBED BY A WONDERING CAT, THEY REALIZED THAT CLIFFORD WASN'T THAT BAD AFTER ALL. IT PROVES ONCE MORE, THAT YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. CLIFFORD MADE FRIENDS WITH OTHERWISE UNFRIENDLY PEOPLE.
