All the books by Norman Bridwell adapted to cinema and television

A circus is in town, but Emily, Elisabeth and Clifford have no money for tickets. A message service seems like a great money-making idea, but finding all the letters and spelling all the messages can be tricky. Enter Clifford, the Big Red Dog. He can sniff out the letters… but can he get the message across?

The series revolves around Emily Elizabeth Howard, a young girl who owns Clifford, a big red dog who can speak to her. Together the two friends explore their island home, Birdwell Island, and embark on adventures.

The series focuses on when Clifford is a tiny red puppy, the runt of the litter in a litter of puppies given birth to by the pet dog of Emily Elizabeth’s neighbor, Mr. Bradley, and after he had been adopted by Emily Elizabeth and before he grew up into a giant red adult dog, forcing the Howards to move to Birdwell Island so Clifford would have plenty of room.

The TV series takes place in the fictional island of Birdwell Island, where Clifford lives. The name is inspired by Norman Bridwell, the author of the books, but the letters I and R are switched. Birdwell Island was inspired by Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, where Bridwell lived.
