[Laughter]

[Woof]

Emily: I'’m going
to do my chores, mom.

Clifford!

Come on.
Teeth-brushing time.

[Whines]

You don'’t want
dog breath, do you?

[Whimpering]

Oh, clifford.

I'’ll just mix
this toothpaste
around a little.

Ok, now. Open wide!

[Whimpers]

Oh, come on, boy.

Smile.

Don'’t be scared.

That'’s it, clifford.

Good boy!

That'’s not so bad
now, is it?

Say, "ahh!"

[Bird chirping]

What'’s that?

[Chirping]

Oh, no!

She'’s gonna fall!

Clifford, do something!

Good catch, clifford.

Oh, no, clifford!

[Woof]

You come with me,
little one.

She'’s so little.

We'’re gonna have to
take care of her
till she'’s big enough

To fly away
with the other birds.

[Woof]

[Chirping]

Worms, clifford,

That'’s what
a baby bird needs,

And you know how
to get worms, right, boy?

[Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm]

[Woof]

Mr. Bleakman: what'’s that
big red fur-ball up to--

Oh!

Clifford!

[Whines]

Sorry, mr. Bleakman.

You couldn'’t have
brought home

A nice, little
chihuahua?

Hmm.

Maybe we should go
to the pet store for worms.

[Barking]

And maybe you
should stay here

And put back
all this dirt.

[Whines]

Come on, birdy.
After the pet store,

We can stop
at the library

And look at a book
on flying.

[Chirping]

[Whimpers]

Great job, t-bone.

Now jump!

Ok, here I come!

What'’s wrong?

You sure I'’m
gonna fit through
that thing, cleo?

Have I ever
steered you wrong?

Well, there was
that time--

Just jump!

Ok!

Hey, guys.
Whatcha doing?

Practicin'’ tricks,
clifford.

But I think I need
a bigger hoop.

[Grunting]

T-bone and I
are thinking about
joining the circus.

Wanna join, too?

Hmm, I don'’t think so.

[Grunting]

But maybe
birdy'’d like to.

Who'’s birdy?

She'’s this baby bird
emily'’s taking care of.

Uh-oh. A baby, huh?

Babies are
nothing but trouble.

Yeah! Once my human
got a baby rabbit

And didn'’t play
with me for a week.

A--a whole week?!

Yeah, a whole week.

Face it, clifford.

Humans like babies

'’Cause babies are cute,

So...

If emily starts paying
too much attention

To this birdy baby...

You'’re gonna
have to make yourself

Cute as a baby, too.

Cute as a baby.

[Whining]

You'’re such
a cute baby, clifford.

Thanks, cleo.
See ya later, guys.

Forget the circus.

I'’m gonna start
a doggie advice column.

Huh?

[Yipping]

[Yipping]

Pipe down,
you king-sized canine.

What'’s all the noise?

Look at clifford.

He'’s so cute.

[Growls]

Mrs. Howard:
well, what'’s he doing?

[Barking and growling]

He'’s acting
like a puppy again.

Mrs. Howard:
careful, clifford!

Birdy!

[Chirping]

[Barking]

Now, calm down, boy.

[Chirping]

Clifford,
you'’re scaring birdy.

[Whimpers]

She'’s all wet.

Let'’s get her inside
to dry off.

What'’s gotten
into you, clifford?!

Mmm?

I think you'’d better
go to your doghouse

And calm down a little.

Emily: clifford!

[Gasps]

I thought you might
like some company...

So birdy and I
came to visit.

[Chirping]

Let me teach you a new game
I learned at school.

Give me your paws.

[Singsong]
I went downtown
to see mary brown.

She gave me a nickel
to buy me a pickle.

The pickle was sour.
I gave her a flower.

The flower was red,
and this is what--

[Chirping]

Birdy!

She'’s in trouble!

Do something, clifford!
Please!

[Woof woof]

Good job, boy.

Poor baby.
She really wants to fly,

But she just isn'’t ready.

I'’m gonna get her a worm.

Keep your eyes on her,
clifford.

[Birds chirping]

I know how you feel.

When I was
a little, tiny puppy,

I couldn'’t even
jump up on the couch.

Now I'’m bigger
than the couch.

I'’m bigger
than the house.

Oh, don'’t worry.
You'’ll fly someday.

All you need
is a little practice,

So let'’s practice.

First, you'’ve got
to just practice

Flapping your wings,
like this.

Great job, birdy.

Now let'’s take you up
a little higher.

That'’s great!
You'’re flying!

All you need is
a little extra help.

What in blue blazes--

[Kindly]
clifford--at it again.

Bye-bye!

Clifford! Is that
birdy flying up there?

Oh, clifford,

I'’m really, really
gonna miss her.

[Whines]

But isn'’t it great?

Now she can fly home
with all the other birds!

I'’m sorry
that taking care of birdy

Took so much of my time,
clifford...

But you should know
that no matter what happens,

You and I will
always be together.

I'’ll always love you,
clifford.

You'’re my big red dog.

[Woof]

Emily: clifford!

It'’s story time!

You want to hear
a speckle story,

Don'’t you?
[Woof woof]

I thought so.
He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is speckle
and the little big snack.

"One day, speckle
headed for the kitchen

To make a snack."

"He started with big slices
of pumpernickel bread

"And some cheese.

"Then he added
some lettuce and tomatoes

"And pickles and more cheese

"And green olives
and black olives
and red olives

"And everything else
he could find in
the refrigerator

"Until...

"Speckle had created
the biggest sandwich

"In the whole wide world--

"A huge, colossal, enormous,

"Way-too-big-to-get-
in-your-mouth kind of sandwich.

"Speckle tried
every which way

"To eat his
beautiful sandwich

"Until he finally realized
that the best way

"To enjoy such a big snack
was to share it.

"So speckle
invited his friends over,

"And together they shared
the best big sandwich

"In the whole wide world.

The end."

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

[Laughs]

Words,
emily elizabeth...

Titanic tower!

It'’s the most absolutely
amazing building

In the whole
entire world!

Wow!

I'’m going
to the grand opening.

Titanic tower is so big
and so high,

You can practically see
forever from the top!

Wow!

[Woof]

You are so lucky,
jetta.

Yes. I know.

Jetta, honey,
time to go.

Oh, too bad
you can'’t go, emily,

But I'’m sure you'’ll
find something to do

On this
little island today.

Yeah, I'’ll find
something to do.

[Laughs]

You know, emily,

There are all kinds
of amazing things to do

Right here
on the island.

That is true.

Some very
amazing things.

I guess...

But nothing as amazing
as the titanic tower,

That'’s for sure.

Oh, well.

Come on, clifford.

I'’m sure we'’ll find
something to do.

Oof! Ooh!

Come on, t-bone.

There'’s some really
great stuff in here today.

[Grunting]

There'’s some
really great stuff
out here, too!

Hi, guys!

Hey, clifford.

Come on, big guy,
dig in.

No, thanks, cleo.

Wanna chew on my shoe?

Nah, I don'’t really
feel like it.

What'’s up, clifford?

Emily doesn'’t
want to play today.

She thinks there'’s
nothing to do
on the island.

Is she kidding?!

What about
running in the sand?

Rolling in the dirt?
Digging in the garbage?

This island is paradise.

I know. It'’s home.
It'’s the best,

But emily just
isn'’t seeing it.

It'’s not titanic tower.

Maybe you should show her
how much fun it is here.

Yeah!

And I know
just how to do it.

Look at all these.

I love hunting
for seashells.

Me, too,

But I wish
I could have gone

To see
the titanic tower
with jetta.

[Woof]
huh?

[Woof]

Clifford?

You look great,
clifford.

[Woof]

Ha ha! Wow!

Charley: looks like clifford
wants to take us for a ride.

This was
a great idea, cleo.

Of course.
It was mine...

Sort of.

Hey! This is
really fun!

It sure is.

I bet we'’re having

Almost as much fun
as jetta.

[Car horns honking]

Jetta: there it is!

The titanic tower!

Oh, mom,
isn'’t it amazing?

Well, yes, but...

It'’s going to be
so crowded today.

Wouldn'’t you rather
go to the zoo?

No way!

I want to go
all the way to the top!

Come on!
Here comes the bus.

Oh!

Ooh!

Clifford,
where are we going?

I think
he'’s taking us out
to meet some friends.

Wow!

Beluga whales.

I'’ve seen them
from the shore before,

But never like this.

Emily:
where are they?

Huh?
Huh?

Hey!
Hey!

Whoa!

Wow.

Cool.

Oh, wow.
Whoa.

That was awesome.

Yeah.

Maybe not as exciting

As going to the top
of titanic tower,

But it was pretty great.

I wonder where
clifford'’s taking us now?

[Car horns honking]

Uh, you know, jetta,

The zoo is just around
the corner from here.

I don'’t want to go
to the zoo, mother.

I want to go
to the titanic tower.

All right, honey.

If that'’s really
what you want to do.

Whoa!

Hey! Ooh!

I haven'’t been
to this beach in a long time.

Me, neither.

I don'’t remember
seeing all these pretty
white rocks before.

I don'’t think
those are rocks.

They'’re sea turtle eggs!

And it'’s hatching time.

There you go,
little fella.

They think clifford'’s
their mother.

Hey, it'’s
their real mother.

They'’re not
the titanic tower,

But they sure are cute.

They sure are.

Oh, good.
We made it, honey.

Hurry, mother.

There it is!

Tickets
for the titanic tower,
please.

Sorry, miss.
You'’ll have to go

To the end
of the line.

Oh, no.

Uh, you'’re sure
about the zoo?

Emily:
oh, clifford, dandelions!

Yeah. Tons and tons
of them.

Thanks for
bringing us here, boy.

[Woof]

I'’m gonna make a wish.

I wish this day

Would last forever.

[Sniffing]

[Woof]

Now you make a wish,
clifford.

Emily: wow.

It'’s almost
closing time, mom.

We'’ve got to get
to the top.

Sorry, folks.
Elevator'’s broken,

But you can
take the stairs.

Oh, no.

Lookout point,
straight ahead.

This trail
takes days to climb.

Not with clifford,
it doesn'’t.

[Woof]

[Gasping and wheezing]

Mrs. Handover:
these stairs will take
days to climb.

Charley: wow!

Lookout point.

This is one
of my favorite places
on the island.

I'’ll bet
we'’re even higher

Than the titanic tower.

Wow.

Wow.

Now this is amazing.

[Woof]

[Gasping and wheezing]

We'’ve...

Made...it.

I c-c-can'’t wait

To see the view.

Hey!

I can'’t see a thing.

Mom!

Thank you, clifford,

For a wonderful day.

[Woof]

It was the best.

Sounds like emily had
a pretty good day

After all, pedro.

That'’s what
it sounds like, victor.

Hey, jetta.
How was the titanic tower?

Amazing?

Amazing?

Uh, yes, exactly.

Amazing.

Absolutely amazing.

We had
a pretty good time, too,

Here on
our little island.

Hmm.
I'’m sure you did.

Maybe next time

You can come
to the titanic tower

With me,
emily elizabeth.

Next time?!

Next time,
we'’re going to the zoo.

Thanks again,
clifford,

For a really
amazing day.

Wahoo! Whee!

Playing fair makes playing
fun for everyone.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is play fair.

Hurry, t-bone!
My turn is next.

Ok, cleo.

I'’m next. I'’m next.
I'’m next,

And then it'’s mac'’s turn.

Ok, cleo. Your turn.

Mac: oh, boy!

Hey!

Whoa! Whoo!

Yeah! Ha ha ha!

That wasn'’t fair.

You'’re right.

We'’re supposed
to take turns.

That'’s the fair way
to play.

Oops. Sorry.

It'’s your turn,
cleo.

Thanks, mac.

You'’re welcome.

Playing fair
makes playing fun.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is play fair.
