Emily elizabeth:
celebrating spring.
Martha miller, tell
us about the city
restoration project.
This is your
organization,
right?
Well, I may have started it,
but hundreds of people
keep it going.
We're all volunteers,
dedicated to making
the city beautiful
By turning
vacant lots
like this...
Into fabulous gardens
like this.
[Both barking]
Wow!
Wow!
The city restoration
project sounds like
a great organization.
Oh, I wish
they'd help us.
That empty lot behind
our building is icky.
Nina, we don't need
to wait for someone to
help us with that lot.
We can do it
ourselves.
[Barking]
You know,
we could!
And I'll bet the other
kids in the building
will want to help too.
Boy, this place
really does need
to be fixed up.
And we're
just the kids
to do it.
[Both barking]
Hey, look at this.
With a little work,
I can turn this old
bathtub into a fountain.
Wow!
Great idea,
evan!
And I can make a bamboo
archway, like the one
in my uncle's garden.
Yeah! That
will be cool!terrific!
I can't wait to see
this place filled
with plants and trees.
Me, too, vanessa,
and lots and lots
of flowers!
And a walkway.
There's got
to be a walkway,
And I have
the perfect plan
for it. See?
Then let's get to it!
Great idea!all right!
[Grunting]
We sure have
a lot of flowers.
I wonder where
I'm going to
plant them all.
[Barking]
[Giggles]
you're right,
clifford.
That boot would
make a really
cute flowerpot.
Mm-hmm. I knew I
was going to plant
flowers in the ground,
But I'll bet
there's lots
of things around here
I can use
as flowerpots too.
Thanks for
the great idea,
clifford.
[Barking]
Hey, jorge!
I just got
a big idea!
We can dig the holes
for emily elizabeth's
flowers.
We're great
diggers!
Let's go!
[Both barking]
[Grunting]
Whoa!
Um, evan?
You're in my way.
Well, maybe you can
just go around me.
Well, okay,
But that's not
in my plan.
[Leaves rustling]
[Both barking]
[Leaves rustling]
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
[Both laughing]
That was fun!
Great. Another
change in my plan.
How about
a little water?
Uh-oh!
[Coughing]
You know, I brought
some lemonade
if you're thirsty.
What?
[Sighs]
and another change.
[Chuckles]
isn't helping fun?
And how!
[Grunting]
Oh! Oh!
[Sighs]
that was
a close one.
What?
[Spits]
oh.
I'm glad to see you
taking a break,
emily elizabeth.
You've been working
really hard.
[Sighs]
Aah!
What is going on?
[Both barking]
Whoa!
Ha ha!
Oh, boy.
It looks like
we've already
dug here.
Ha ha! I guess
we're having
so much fun,
We didn't think
about what we
were doing.
Whoa!
[Both laughing]
I think we're not
the only ones.
You know, the garden
doesn't look so great.
Whoa.
You're right,
clifford.
It's just as
messy as it
was before.
Oh! Okay,
that does it.
Huh?
[Sighs]
[Sighs]
All: whoa!
Hold it. The fountain
is a natural centerpiece.
But an archway
tells people
where to walk.
I think it
should be trees.
Big, shady trees.
Emily elizabeth,
what do you think
Should be
in the center
of the garden?
Well, uh, mmm...
I don't know why
you're arguing.
The walkway should
be in the center
So you can walk
through the garden.
No, we need
an archway--
No, shun, it should
be this way.
I know it should
be a fountain.it should be shady trees.
Uh, guys?
Guys?
I don't think
we can have anything
in the center
Of the garden until
we have a garden.
It's a mess.
It's worse than
when we started.
Well, don't blame me.
I'm the only one
who made a plan.
A plan for you.
That didn't
include any
of us.
Nina: well, it didn't
matter because I never
got to stick to it.
Shun: well,
I got knocked down.
Emily elizabeth:
me, too.
Vanessa: well, I got
squirted with water.
Shun: me, too!
Nina: we know
who did that.
Evan: it was
an accident.
Well, you were
in my way!
This is your fault!
[All arguing at once]
[Both howling]
What are they
howling about?
I guess all of
our fighting was
making them sad.
Well, I don't
blame them.
Look, let's
face it.
We're all responsible
for the way the garden
turned out.
Emily elizabeth
is right.
I mean, we were
all so wrapped up
in our own work,
We didn't think
about anyone else's.
So...
What do we
do now?
We could start
by working
together.
Sure. There's
still time for us
to get this done.
If we work
as a team.
Okay!
I'm in!
Okay, everyone.
What's the plan?
The fountain should
probably go in this
area, near the hose.
And the archway
can go there.
Trees there.and here.
Then the walkway
can go like this.
There you go, shun.
Okay, right there.
Oh!
Look at that!
Vanessa: the fountain
is beautiful!
Evan: nice job
on the archway!
Shun: thank you.
Emily elizabeth:
it's perfect!
I'm going to send
a picture to the city
restoration project.
After all, they're
the ones that gave us
the inspiration.
Martha miller:
now, this is what
I call a garden!
All: oh!
You're
martha miller!
I got this terrific
photograph in the mail,
And I just had to
check it for myself.
So, who do I
congratulate
on this great job?
[All talking at once]
nina: the archway
was shun's idea.
And evan made
the fountain.
Ha ha ha ha!
Whoa!
One at a time.
We all did it
together.
With clifford
and jorge too.
[Both barking]
Oh, that was a lot
of work for such
cute little dogs.
You should be
very proud
of yourselves.
You've all helped to make
the city a more beautiful
place to live,
So I've brought you
a little something.
On behalf of the city
restoration project,
I'd like you to have
this official garden
of the city plaque.
Oh!
Wow!
Thank you,
miss miller.
Thank you,
miss miller.
No, thank you.
And, for extra-special
volunteers...
Extra-special thank yous.
[Both barking]
Ruff!
Emily elizabeth: clifford!
Where are you, boy?
Ruff! Ruff!
Want to read
a story, clifford?
Ruff!
Okay, pick one out.
[Giggles]
thanks, clifford!
This looks like
a great story.
[Toy squeaks]
Emily elizabeth: today's story
is "speckle and the pen pals."
"Early one afternoon, luna
went to check her mailbox.
"Luna said she loved
getting mail...
"But hadn't gotten any
letters in a long time.
"None of them had gotten
a letter of their own
in a long time, either.
"Then speckle said he knew
how they could all get mail.
"They could write
letters to each other.
"Luna wrote about the apple tree
in her backyard
"And the day it
blossomed with flowers.
"Reba wrote about
her last basketball game
"And how she scored
the winning point.
"Darnell and ravi wrote
about the great new books
"They checked out
from the library.
"And speckle wrote a letter
that was all pictures,
"Drawings of every one
of his favorite activities.
"Soon luna's mailbox
was filled with letters,
"And so were everyone else's,
"And they enjoyed
reading and sharing
their very own letters
"With all of their friends.
The end."
I love reading
stories together.
You know, clifford,
for such a small dog,
You sure are
a big reader!
Ruff!
Emily elizabeth:
garden delights.
Wow!
Butterflies!
Come on!
They want to
play chase.
Woo hoo!
[All laughing]
There you are!
Ha ha! Come on, zo!
[Giggling]
Oof!
[Gasps]
Flo! Zo!
Are you all right?
[Both meow]
Well, yes,
I guess you are,
But it doesn't look
like that little
tree branch is.
Because it's broken,
We'll put it into
the compost pile
to mulch,
Along with
our leaves and
grass clippings.
That way, it'll turn
into nice, rich soil.
Wait, mr. Solomon.
I heard the branch
break.
May I have it?
Why, certainly, jenny.
Here it is.
This is a willow branch,
which means it doesn't
have to be composted.
No? How come?
Because this willow
branch can grow into
a whole new tree
Now that the growing
season is here.
Do you hear that,
flo and zo?
A whole new tree.
[Both meowing]
Heh heh heh!
Okay,
planting crew.
First,
we dig a hole.
One freshly
dug hole,
coming up.
All done.
[Barking]
[Giggling]
that's right,
clifford.
Now it's time
to plant
the branch.
Next comes the compost.
Here you go,
jenny.
It looks a lot like dirt.
What's it made of?
All sorts of things:
Grass clippings,
wood chips,
Even our leftover
fruits and vegetables
That have broken down
over time to make our own
healthy, homemade soil.
[Sniffing]
[Kids laughing]
Good sh*t, clifford.
Now we need
to pat the compost
in around the tree.
The little willow's
all planted, jenny.
Great! Now all we
have to do is water it.
I've already filled
the watering can.
Ruff!
Clifford: gosh, guys.
Do you think we should
keep the little willow
company while it grows?
I don't know, clifford.
That sounds like
it could take a really
long time to me.
Me, too.
But we just can't
go off to play
And leave poor little
willow all alone.
I know! We could give
her one of our toys
to play with!
Good idea!
Come on, flo!
Okay, zo.
I know just
the one.
Uh, jorge,
Do trees play
with toys?
Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
But we like toys,
so maybe trees do too.
Hey!
Oh!
Come back!
Bibby! Bibby!
Come here!
[Both gasp]
Oh!
Oh!
[Both barking]
Bibby!
Bibby!
Clifford: whoa!
Uh...uh-oh.
Oh, no!
Bibby's
all broken!
Oh, that is
a tough break
there, kit cats.
Looks like your
bibby is headed
for the rubbish heap.
[Sniffling]
[crying]
He was our
favorite toy too!
And we were going
to share him
with little willow.
Isn't that great?
Little willow.
Who is that?
We'll show you,
norville.
She used to be
a broken branch.
Uh-huh, but soon
she'll grow into
a whole new tree.
Si. That's because
the growing season
is here.
Oh, the, uh,
growing season,
you say.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Well, you know,
if a broken branch
Can be grown into
a whole new tree,
Then it only stands
to reason that
a broken toy
Can be grown into
a whole new toy.
And, besides,
you said it yourself:
"tis the growing season."
Are you sure, norville?
Am I sure?
Of course I'm sure!
I'm a bird
who knows things.
Then we can
grow bibby!
All right!
Whoopee! Yay!
Hey, clifford,
Do you think we
could grow our
broken toys too?
Uh...
Uh-huh! I sure do!
Woo hoo!
Ha ha!
[Barks]
Wow. Who knew
we had so many
broken toys?
We sure are
hard on things,
But thanks to
the growing season,
They don't have to
be broken anymore.
Jorge: clifford,
that's not a broken toy.
That's your favorite
almost-all-chewed-up bone.
I know, jorge,
But I thought
it might grow into
a whole new bone.
Heh!
It's worth a try.
Uh...okay.
So, now what do we do?
The best part!
We dig!
So, kids, how's it--
[Sputtering]
Going?
All: great!
And now, mi amigos,
the compost.
Okay,
everybody.
You know
what to do.
Okay, let's fill her up!
This will help
our toys grow.
Now it's time
for the fun part.
[Sighs]
that's all of them.
We did it!
Now all we have
to do is add agua.
You know, water.
Okay, flo and zo,
turn on the hose.
[Both grunting]
Whoa. Looks like
they need a paw.
Right.
[All grunting]
Over here!
I got it, guys!
I got it!
[All laughing and shouting]
Get it!
Whoa!
All: get it!
Whoooa!
[Gasps]
Jorge: whoa...
[Clifford barking]
[Barking and meowing]
[Water squirting]
I'll get the water!
You guys, get the animals!
Gotcha!
Gotcha!
[Sighs]
I don't get it.
What are all these
broken toys doing here?
I don't know.
Wait a minute.
This is a wheelie toy.
It was one of
clifford's favorites,
until it broke.
And this is jorge's
old barking bitsy toy.
[Giggles]
it used to be
his favorite.
Hey!
What do you get
when you take half of
a barking bitsy toy...
And put it
together with half
of a wheelie toy?
Well...
A half and a half
does make a whole.
That's right, nina!
A whole new toy.
Correct.
Come on, let's see
what else is in here.
Oh, pass me that,
I have an idea.
You have some glue?
Hey, that looks good.
You know, guys,
I think we just invented
a whole new season.
You mean one like
the growing season?
Uh-huh, only
I call this...
The recycling season.
That's right.
We're making old toys into
brand-new ones.
[Barking and meowing]
All right, is this great or
what?
There's no need to fear,
my furry little friends.
Everything turned out
just like I said it would.
It did?
No, it didn't.
Not at all.
Well, you did plant
your old toys,
And they did grow
into new toys.
You know, almost.
All: norville!
Yeah!
Well, it sort of
happened,
You know,
like I said
it would have,
Kind of, maybe.
[Chuckling]
well, I guess
it sort of did,
Kind of, maybe.
Ha ha! Anyway,
our broken toys
are fixed.
It's terrific!
Norville, you
want to play?
Little red,
my middle name
is play.
Count me in.
[All laughing]
Ruff!
[All laughing]
Grrr!
[Barking]
Emily elizabeth:
clifford!
Oh, that's
emily elizabeth.
I got to go,
but if you'd like,
You can borrow
my sock spider
for a while.
Wow! Are you sure?
Sure, I'm sure.
Just take
good care of it.
Both: we will!
Emily elizabeth:
clifford and his friends know
that when they borrow something,
It means they're
responsible for it.
Yuck! I hate rain.
Me, too.
Both: eww!
The sock spider!
Clifford said
to take good
care of it.
We can't leave
it out there.
It'll get all wet!
Emily elizabeth:
when you act responsibly,
it shows that you care
And that you can be trusted.
That's why clifford's idea
to grow on for today
Is "be responsible."
Clifford's
sock spider
is all safe.
All dry!
[Both laughing]
