I appreciate that this one shows Clifford helping put out fires instead of threatening everyone with the belt if they don't stay in line (though firefighters are, in a sense, the thin edge of the wedge, right? Everyone loves a fireman, but the firemen will be the first to tell you police officers

are brave and strong and on the frontlines too and you can trust a police officer like you would a fireman, and then where are you? Tasered as fuck), but I also wonder how the fire department in this town put out any fires before Clifford was around because they seem like they are struggling with the basics, dude.

ahead to clear the streets. The fire hose was stuck, so Clifford gives it a hard tug. The fire hydrant was also stuck, so Clifford unsticks it. Firemen are running out of water so Clifford comes to the rescue and helps put the fire out. Some of the firefighter's got to ride on Clifford's back when the fire was out. Clifford became a hero just like his brother. The fire cheif gave him an honorary plaque for saving the day. Clifford became a fire rescue dog just like this brother Nero.
I always loved reading books about fire departments since my husband if a firefighter. The Clifford books were always my favorite even as a child. The books always turn out in the end and Clifford always saves the day.
Students whom I have read to are always interested in the Clifford books because they love animals. To see a dog that is big and red always makes the children smile.

This book is about Clifford going to see his brother who works at a firehouse. Clifford ends up saving the day in multiple ways.

I have always loved Clifford books. They are simple and to the point but have fun characters that seem to keep little ones attention.

I think this would be a good book to

read if you were going to visit the fire house that day or if the firemen were coming to visit and you could have a good lesson on fire safety.

help the firefighters. Will Clifford be able to help when there’s a fire? Following the story, young readers will find an important list of Fire Safety Rules.

In “Clifford’s Hiccups,” Clifford wakes up Emily Elizabeth with his hiccups. But no one in the Howard family can cure his hiccups, so Clifford goes to the vet. Doctor Dihn examines Clifford and says the hiccups will just go away by themselves. Clifford’s friends T-Bone and Mac try to make Clifford’s hiccups go away. Will they find a way to help Clifford lose his hiccups?

Norman Bridwell’s Clifford is a well-known, beloved character in children’s books. The charming illustrations and delightful stories in these two stories are sure to delight young readers. The Lexile levels are 470L and 380L, respectively, so parents should be prepared to help their children read these delightful stories. As with the first 2 Stories In 1, this book is a special edition for the Kohl’s Cares program.

Highly recommended.
