Like all Clifford Books, Emily Elizabeth is the narrator who introduces herself and her big red dog, Clifford. Emily Elizabeth relays the story of last summer's vacation. Since Clifford was too big to fit the car, Clifford was supposed to stay home with the neighbors. The detailed pictures parallel

the text with the image of Clifford spreading onto two full pages. With his head and tail drooping, Clifford appears sad as Emily Elizabeth and her family disappears in the car. Instead of feeling lonely and sad, Clifford goes on an adventure to find his family. He determinedly fights the obstacles in his way, making some people very happy and very upset. Regardless, Clifford's determination results in success. Emily Elizabeth finds herself in an unfortunate circumstance and Clifford is around to save the day.

Clifford Takes A Trip by Norman Bridwell
Audio version so I am not seeing the colorful pictures.
Emily has a dog, Clifford. It's the last day of school and she's happy that she'll be able to play with her dog.
Trips are hard to do with Clifford because of his big size. The year before they left him
He set out to find them but he got into a lot of trouble....and you wonder if he will ever find them...
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

I was disappointed that the trip didn't involve visiting the pyramids or any of those childhood tropes but Clifford gets on my t*ts a bit sometimes so it was good at least to get out of the house and move around.

A cute, silly story. Exactly what you expect from a Clifford book.
Morals: Not a feature of Clifford books. 0/5
Storyline: Things happen, and they're fairly interesting, if ridiculous. 4/5
Pictures: Full-page, bright colors, simple artwork. 5/5

Emily Elizabeth and her parents leave Clifford with a neighbor as they take a summer vacation camping trip, but Clifford isn't having it. He runs away to find Emily Elizabeth, leaving chaos in his wake as he travels down the highways and byways. A dramatic ending that depends on dumb coincidence
