Clifford, der kleine rote Hund

Well rounded & positive show in every way This was my 2 yr old sons first cartoon series exposure. Happily, show hit all the positive educational, social and emotional marks. These are my favorite aspects of this series... 1. The theme song is enjoyable, original, unique and the lyrics tell you exactly what you can expect from the story without ever becoming mind numbingly annoying. It is one of the only theme songs we both sing together and don't get sick of. The theme song is fun, upbeat and has a unique eclectic sound with various cultural influences. It is very representative of the diverse city community these characters inhabit. I wish more cartoons were so intentional and unique with their theme songs. 2. The theme song title which is "love makes little things grow." It reinforces positive feelings between children and their caretakers. 3. I like that that Clifford and the animals have their own distinct social community seperate from Emily Elizabeth and the other kids. This mirrors real life where children have their school relationships seperate from home relationships. It promotes the idea of hearty, social independence. 4. Clifford cannot talk to Emily Elizabeth but they still show love to each other in non verbal ways by being present together, observant, hugging/body language, patience, loyalty and empathy. 5. The adults are represented very positively in the show. They are present, supportive, kind and offer help when needed while promoting a good balance of independence and mutual respect. 6. I love the diversity in this show. It premiered in the early 2000's and was years ahead in this aspect! There are black, Asian, white, Hispanic, Jewish, elderly, young and disabled characters of all ages. All presented in a positive light as a tight knit community working together. Some episodes focus on team effort to better their community/environment together. 7. The lead characters are a small puppy who is constantly over coming challenges regarding his size while using his EQ to problem solve and an 8/9 year old GIRL who models respect for others and social problem solving and communication and empathy. Awesome! 10. Love Henry winklers performance as Norville 11. in my opinion this is the most perfect cartoon format/model/story ever created for kids under 6. This series still surpasses the latest version of the Clifford cartoon series in 2020. Clifford puppy days is the best in the Clifford series. Please, bring this one back or create more like it!

My son loves this show. It is quite cute and entertaining. I even enjoy it as a mother. I know it is quality TV. I like John Ritter's voice as Clifford in the "Clifford the Big Red Dog" series, but since that is not possible, and since Clifford is a pup in this show, the voice is very appropriate. There are many different friends and pets in this show to make it entertaining. Highly recommended for children of all ages!

My son and I watch this cartoon every weekday morning. He is very much into dogs/puppies, so he loves it. Educational and entertaining. You can't beat that!

Although John Ritter is dead, Lara Jill Miller replaces him as Clifford. Grey DeLisle, Cam Clarke, Kath Soucie, Orlando Brown, Jess Harnell and Henry Winkler lead the voice cast in this fabulous PBS Kids show. Now on DVD and video by Lion's Gate and Fox with New Friends/Little Puppy, Big Adventures with 8 episodes: Keeping Cool, Socks and Snooze, Monster in 3B, Cat-Tastrophe, Jorge and the Dog Run, Clifford's Clubhouse, Hup Hup, Paw-Print Picasso. It was released on April 20. I'm at 6 month summer school so I can get the 1st Clifford's Puppy Day's post. I love you, you love me. You are really good friends. I've got to go swimming right now, so I really have to go now. See you soon.

Clifford's Puppy Days is a prequel to Clifford The Big Red Dog and everything great about that show is also found in this one. It's actually kind of fun to compare this to the other Clifford show. Also like with the other Clifford show, Clifford here is still easily distinguished by his size but here he's the smallest puppy around. Like it's sister series, every episode of Clifford's Puppy Days contains two stories divided by a Speckle story in between and a Clifford's Big Idea skit afterwards, with each episode starting with Emily Elizabeth and Clifford recounting puppyhood memories. One story focuses on Emily Elizabeth and friends such as Nina, Shun, and Evan while the other focuses more on Clifford and his friends such as Jorge (dog), Flo and Zo (kitties), Daffodil (rabbit), Norville (bird), and occasionally the Sidarskys (mice). Overall, here is a nice adorable show that I highly recommend along with its sister show Clifford The Big Red Dog and the equally sweet Clifford books.
