[Woof]

Clifford!

Mmm!

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

Emily elizabeth!

There you are!

Ha ha. I think
you dropped something.

You'’ve had this blanket
a long time,

Haven'’t you, boy?

[Woof woof woof]

Since you were
a tiny little puppy,

It was always
your very favorite.

Now, where could
that puppy be?

Clifford!

Where are you?

Clifford?

[Woof woof]

Ha! There you are!

[Woof woof]

[Woof]

[Slurp]

Ha ha!
I should'’ve known

You were hiding under
your favorite blanket.

Good night,
my little red dog.

I love you.

It'’s a pretty
special blanket.

Isn'’t it, clifford?

[Woof]

You can put your
blanket away now,

And I'’ll get you
some breakfast, ok?

[Woof]

Hey, clifford!

Clifford!

Hi, guys.
What'’s going on?

Wanna play a game
of super t-bone with us?

Cleo'’s gonna use
the library steps
as her spaceship.

That'’s right.

The evil fluffy face
will land her spaceship

Right in the middle
of birdwell island.

That sounds great!
Let'’s go.

Hey, clifford,
what'’s this?

Oh, that'’s my blanket.

Oh, it'’s perfect!

Just the right size
to play with.

Huh?

Unh!

Hey, look!
I'’m a blue-ooh ghost.

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Uh, that'’s funny,
but it'’s not really

A blanket
for playing with, ok?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, look!
Now I'’m rapunzel

With my fancy long hair.

Lemme try,
lemme try.

Look!
It'’s the magic carpet!

Come on, you guys.

That'’s my favorite blanket.

I don'’t really want you
to play with it.

Aw, come on, clifford.

This blanket is too good
notto play with.

Look! It makes
a perfect cape
for super t-bone!

Wow! It does make
a pretty great cape.

Yeah, but it'’s
special to me.

I don'’t want anything
to happen to it.

Please, clifford?

Nothing'’s gonna
happen to it, right?

Right!
Right!

Well, if you promise
to be reallycareful.

Oh, yeah!

We will!

Oh...ok.

Thanks.
This is gonna be great!

Come on, clifford.
We can'’t play without you.

I, evil fluffy face,
say that this entire planet

Is now mine, mine, mine!
Aah hya hya ha ha ha ha!

You'’ll never get away
with this, fluffy face!

Oh, yeah, really big,
really red dog?

Who'’s gonna stop me?

Super t-bone will!

Help, super t-bone!
Help!

Um, guys?

Come on, t.
You'’re supposed to
come to the rescue.

I know, but I can'’t be
super t-bone without my cape.

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

Thanks.

Ok, clifford.
Call him again.

Help, super t-bone!

Never fear!

Super t-bone is here!

Whoa!

Ohh-hh-hh!

Careful
with my blanket.

Give up, fluffy face!

Hurray!
Hurray for super t-bone!

Ha ha! Perhaps you'’ve
both forgotten about my--

Uh...

Uh...super freeze ray
power paws!

Zzzz-zzzz-zzzz!

Oh, no! I'’m frozen!

Oh, yeah.

Well, uh, my super
powerful cape will just

Bounce your freeze ray
back at you.

Zzzzz-zzzzz-zzzz!

Aah!
You froze me back!

Super t-bone
saves the world again!

Not so fast, super-t.

I was wearing my
invisible freeze ray
protective coat.

I'’m not really frozen
after all!

Oh, no!

Now fluffy face
will steal super-t'’s
super powerful cape.

Hand it over,
super t-bone.

Never!

[Both growling]

Guys?
My blanket?

Huh?
[Thud]
oof!

Ha! Now I have
all your powers!

Hya hya hya
ha ha ha ha!

Aah!

You ok, cleo?

Yeah, I'’m ok.

Cleo, look what you
did to my blanket!

It'’s ruined!

No. Tch! No, it'’s not.

It'’s just a little muddy.

Look at it.

You guys promised
you'’d be careful
with it.

Now it'’s all dirty.

It'’ll be ok, clifford.

You can just take it home
and wash it after our game.

No, I'’m going to take it
home right now.

Clifford!

Hey, clifford.

Oh, no!
What happened
to your blanket?

It got all muddy,
huh?

[Whimpers]

Don'’t worry. We can
take care of that.

[Woof]

All it needs
is a good wash.

I'’ll be extra careful,

And it'’ll be nice
and clean in no time.

Oh, thank you,
emily elizabeth.

It'’s going to feel real good
to get my blanket back.

Now I just need
my friends back.

What'’s wrong
with clifford?

Why did he take
his blanket

And just leave
like that?

I think he'’s upset
'’cause his blanket got dirty.

It just got a little
mud on it.

He can always
wash it.

Yeah, but clifford
didn'’t really want us

To play with his blanket
in the first place.

Remember?

Well, yeah, but...

And we did promise him
we'’d be extra careful
with it.

Remember?

But it'’s just
a blanket, t-bone.

Yeah, but remember when you
got that great squeak toy?

Of course, I remember!

It'’s still
my very favorite.

And remember how you didn'’t
want anyone else
to play with it?

Well...yeah.

So?

Well, what if someone
did play with it

And then broke it?

I would be so mad!

See?

But--but that'’s
different.

My squeak toy
is special.

Clifford'’s blanket
is special to him.

Ahh! Oh, yeah.

He saidit was
special, huh?

Neither one of us
really listened to him.

I think we should go
and tell him we'’re sorry.

That'’s a great idea.

No wonder they call you
super t-bone!

Thanks, cleo.

Oh, I hope
emily elizabeth can get
my blanket clean again.

Cleo: clifford?

I am sosorry, clifford.

You are?

Uh-huh.

You told us to be careful
with your blanket,

And we didn'’t listen.

You didn'’t even want us
to play with it

In the first place,

And we talked you
into it.

Can you forgive us,
clifford?

Of course, I can.

But I hope next time
I don'’t want you to play

With something special
of mine, you'’ll just
say ok.

Both: ok!

Here you go, boy.

Good as new!

[Woof]

[Rarf]
[arf arf arf]

This will be dry
in plenty of time

For you to sleep
with it tonight.

Ha ha ha!

Well, guys, I feel
a lot better.

I'’m glad, but I wonder
whatever happened

To the evil fluffy face!

She raced back
to her spaceship

To take over
the whole world!

Hya hya ha ha ha hey!

Come on!

Super t-bone
to the rescue!

[Inhaling]

Ahh!

T-bone, cleo,
wait for me!

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time!

You wanna hear
a speckle story, don'’t you?

[Woof woof]

Ha ha. I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is
"speckle and the shadow show."

"One late afternoon,

"As the sun was setting,

"Speckle and his friends
thought their fun
was over for the day.

"Then they noticed
their shadows stretching
along the ground

And making funny
shadow shapes on the wall."

"It was so much fun,

They decided to make
their own shadow puppet show."

"Luna became
a graceful swan."

"Darnell was a royal king.

"Speckle, reba, and ravi
teamed up to be a big
friendly giant.

It was great fun!"

"But then, the sun
finally disappeared

"And took their shadows
with it...

Until tomorrow."

[Owl hooting]

"The end."

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

Ha ha!

I know clifford and I
buried that bone

Somewhere around here.

Hey! I found it!

You did?

Great!

Where is it?

It'’s just a sock.

Ptooie!

You know, t, I really
don'’t think bone digging

Is your best thing.

[Doorbell rings]

Who'’s that?

Let'’s go see.

Hi, vaz!

Hi, emily elizabeth.

Do you remember
my sister teresa?

Sure, I do.

But I thought you were
away at college, teresa.

I am in college,
but we have
weeks off now,

So I came back
to birdwell island

To try and dig
for dinosaur bone
fossils.

Dinosaur bones?!

Yeah. That'’s what
teresa studies at college.

It'’s called paleontology.

She'’s gonna try to dig up
some dinosaur bones

Right here
on birdwell island!

The island used to be
filled with dinosaurs

A long time ago.

Teresa says I can help her
dig for the bones!

Ha ha! They'’re not
actually bones.

They'’re really
fossils of bones.

Can I help you
dig for bone fossils, too?

Of course!

I can use all
the digging help
I can get.

Well, if it'’s
digging help you need,

I know some great helpers.

[Woo woo woo woo
woof woof]

Ha ha ha!
Great!

The more help
the better.

Here'’s where
I'’ve been digging.

Wow! Have you found
any dinosaurs yet?

Ha ha ha.
I'’m afraid not.

And there'’s
a very good chance
I never will find any.

Really?

Uh-huh. I'’d be happy

If we could just find
one or fossil bones.

Well, I feel
pretty lucky today.

Ha ha. Good.

What do you want us
to do, teresa?

First we have to dig
much deeper

To reach the layer
of earth where

The dinosaur bones
might be.

Clifford can
take care of that.

[Woof woof]

Go ahead, boy.

Dig us a nice,
deep hole.

[Woof]

Teresa: wow!
Clifford really is
a terrific digger!

[Woof]

Did you find something,
clifford?

Wow!
Look at that!

This is amazing!

I can hardly believe
we'’ve really found

A genuine
dinosaur bone!

And it looks like
it'’s from a really
big dinosaur.

Clifford knows all about
being really big!

[Woof]

[Panting]

Excuse me,
cliffordsaurus.

Could you please help me
get across the river?

Sure.

Thanks!

[Woof]

It could be that
the rest of this
dinosaur'’s bones

Are down there, too.

But how are wegoing
to get down there?

That'’s easy!

Clifford can
give us a lift.

[Woof woof]

Going down!

Oh, boy! I can'’t wait
to get down there and dig!

Digging'’s not exactly
your best thing, t-bone.

I know, but it'’s fun.

And if I keep trying,
maybe I can find

A really big
dinosaur bone, too.

Ah!

Oh, my goodness!

Thanks, cleo.

[Rarf]

Good find, mac!

Thank you.

[Arf]

Wow!

What great diggers
you all are!

[Sniffing]

[Arf arf]

What have you
got there, t-bone?

It'’s a really
nice bone,

But I'’m afraid it'’s
not from a dinosaur.

Thanks for trying, t.

[Arf]

Boy, it sure is fun
digging for dinosaur bones,

Isn'’t it?

Yeah! I'’m a lean,
mean diggin'’ machine!

Ack! Ok, ok!

Turn the machine
off now, cleo.

Hee hee. Oh, sorry, mac.

I found big bones today.

I found !

How many
did you find, t?

One!

Well, that'’s...
Pretty good!

I think it was
a chicken bone.

Why don'’t you just
give up, t-bone?

You haven'’t found
a single dinosaur bone.

I bet I'’m gonna
find one tomorrow.

I can feel it in my bones!

Teresa: this is
so remarkable!

This dinosaur is really
starting to look
like a dinosaur.

Yeah!

It sure is.

I wish I could'’ve
been there when this
dinosaur was living.

There weren'’t any humans
around at that time,
emily elizabeth.

I know there weren'’t
really any people around

When dinosaurs were
on the earth,

But what if there were?

[Thudding]

Good boy!
Wanna play fetch again?

[Arrrowoof]

Ha ha! Ok, boy.

All: [arrrarf]

[Arr-arr-arrf]

I think your
dinosaur friends
wanna play with you.

[All barking]

Go ahead. Go play.

Dinosaurs sure are great!

They sure are.

Let'’s hurry and try to get
this one put back together.

I can'’t wait to see what
he'’s gonna look like.

Wow!

This dinosaur'’s
amazing!

It'’s so exciting!

Teresa:
ahh, it'’s wonderful.

We were so lucky
to have found all these bones.

Teresa is going to
give the skeleton to
the birdwell island museum

So we can look at it
anytime we want to.

But it won'’t be quite
as wonderful to look at

Unless we can find
the one last bone we need

To make his head stay on.

What does the missing bone
look like, teresa?

Well, it'’s pretty small.

It'’s sort of like a pin.

We'’ll just have to keep
digging until we find it.

Right. Let'’s dig.

Boy, I'’m tired.

We'’ve been digging
for hours.

I don'’t know
if we'’re ever going
to find that bone.

[Gasping]

Boy!

I feel like we'’ve dug up
this whole entire place.

Oh! I think we should
just give up
and go home.

Maybe we'’ll find it
tomorrow.

Hey, where'’s t-bone?

He'’s still working.

He really wants
to find that bone.

Oh, poor t-bone.

He never gives up.

I don'’t think we'’re going
to find the bone today,
teresa.

We'’re really sorry.

We may never find it.

Finding every bone fossil
of an entire dinosaur

Is pretty rare.

T-bone: [arf arf arf arf]

[Arf arf arf arf arf]

Hey, that'’s t-bone!

Maybe he found something!

[Arf arf arf arf arf]

[Arf arf]

All: [arf arf arf arf]

What is it, boy?

What are you
barking about?

T-bone did it!

He found
the bone!

Vaz: cool!

[Yelping]

We were all ready
to give up,

But t-bone
kept on looking.

Thank you, t-bone,
for finding the bone

And for
reminding all of us
how important it is

To keep trying
and to never give up.

Ok, everyone, I want to get
a picture of all my helpers.

T-bone, I'’d like you

To stand right
in the middle, please.

[Arf]

[Arrf]

Ok, everyone,
say dinosaur!

All: dinosaur!
[Woof]
[arf]

[Click]

Clifford and I know

It'’s important
to think about
the feelings of others,

And that'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is be kind.

Uh-oh. It looks like

Mac'’s special
birthday balloon popped.

I told him
it'’d get ruined

If he didn'’t
take it inside.

I'’m gonna
go show him!

Wait a minute, cleo.

Maybe we can find
a nicer way to
tell him about it.

So he won'’t feel so bad.

You'’re right, clifford.

Hi, mac.

We'’re really sorry,
but your balloon

Got ruined
in the sun.

My special balloon!

Oh.

We all make mistakes
sometimes.

Even me.

Ha. Thanks, cleo.

And thanks for not saying,
"I told you so."

You'’re welcome.

Hey, you wanna play tag?

Sure!

Helping a friend
to feel better

Makes you feel better, too.

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

Is be kind.
