[Sniffing]

Today is
daffodil's birthday.

Did you know that,
clifford?

[Ruff ruff]

We're baking her favorite
dessert--carrot cupcakes!

This batch is ready
for the oven.

Wow, look at all the
carrots we have left.

Daffodil will
love those, too.

And now it's time
to stir the icing.

I'll do it! I'll do it!

[Chuckles]

I thought you would.

[Barking]

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

Clifford! We need to ice
the cupcakes, not you!

[Barking]

[Laughs]

I think maybe it's time

For one little red puppy
to go out and play.

Ok, mom.

Now remember, clifford,

Don't say anything
to daffodil.

It's a surprise.

[Barking]

Hmm, maybe I should
give daffodil a
birthday surprise, too.

But what could I do?

Ooh! I've got a big idea!

Hmmm, a birthday party
for daffodil?

Not just a birthday
party, jorge.

A surprise party!

We can have it right
here in the courtyard,

And invite all of
daffodil's friends.

She always comes outside
for a walk after her
afternoon nap,

So that's when we'll all
be waiting for her.

It'll be great!

This sounds like
a blast, amigo.

What kind of fun
activities do you
have planned?

Uh, fun activities?

Uh, well, you guys
will be there.

You're fun!

And, uh...um...

Ooh, you know what's
always great at a party?

A pinata.

A pinata?

Oh, sure!

At nina's birthday party,

They had this
really big pinata.

And everyone took turns
swinging at it.

Nina even let me swing
my tail at it!

Oh, it was full of treats!

Everybody loves a pinata!

Hmm. Maybe I
should get one.

But right now I have
to invite more of
daffodil's friends.

Ok, I'll see you
at the party, amigo!

Ok. And remember, don't say
anything to daffodil.

It's a surprise!

You're having a birthday
party for daffodil?

We'll be there!

What kind of fun activities
do you have planned?

Well, I'm inviting
all of her friends.

And I was thinking we
might have a pinata...

A pinata sounds ok.

But how about music?

Music?

Sure, music makes
the party.

Yeah. At mr. Solomon's
birthday party

There was plenty of music.

[Music playing]

And we all had
a great time.

Hmm, maybe I should
get some music.

But right now I have
to finish inviting
daffodil's friends.

See you this afternoon!

Ok. And remember,
don't say anything
to daffodil.

It's a surprise!

A birthday party
this afternoon, eh?

Yes, I believe
I'm available.

Hey, what kind of
fun activities do
you have planned?

Uh, well, all of daffodil's
friends are coming

And we might have a pinata
and some music.

Well, yeah, those
are very fun,
yeah, definitely.

But if you really want
to have a great party,

You gotta have a clown.

A clown?

Sure, whenever I peek in
on birthday parties

I always see funny
clowns entertaining
the kids.

Kid: yay!

Yes, all my research
indicates you
can't go wrong

With a good
birthday clown.

Hmm, I guess a clown
would be nice.

But right now I have
to get things ready.

Well, see you
this afternoon!

Ok. And remember, don't
say anything to daffodil.

It's a surprise.

A pinata, music, a clown.

Oh, boy, having this party
sure is a lot more complicated

Than I thought!

But I can do it!

I hope.

Now, what can I use
for a pinata?

Oh, this is perfect!

Huh. But I need treats
to go inside.

[Bark bark]

What is it, clifford?

You want a carrot?

But you don't
eat carrots.

Is it for daffodil?

[Barking]

[Giggles]

Ok, clifford,

Take as many
as you want.

Ok, jorge,
here's the pinata.

Wow, daffodil will love it!

Uh, music, music.

Oh, I know, let's see
what's in my toy basket.

Uh, no. Hey, this should
make great music!

Ha ha ha!

Oh! I better not
wake daffodil!

[Honk]

[Muttering]

[Snoring]

Ok, flo and jo,
here's the music!

All right!
This will be great!

Now I'm really stuck.

Where am I going to get
a clown for the party?

I don't know any clowns.

Wait a minute!
I can be a clown!

All I need is a white face.

[Coughing]

And a red nose.

And a funny trick.

Ha! Ha! Hey,
I'm a clown! Whoa!

I must be dreaming.

Ta da! Here's the clown!

Looking good, clifford!

Wow, you really pulled it
together, your redness.

Thanks, but there's
no time to waste.

Daffodil should be
waking up any minute.

Let's get ready.

Hey, clifford?
What about drinks?

Uh, drinks?

Well, there can't be a party
without refreshments.

Uh, no problem.

I'll get water
from the hose.

Oh, you'd better hurry,
clifford.

I think it's almost--

Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

[Yawn]

Ah, time for my walk.

Clifford!
Daffodil's coming!

She is? But we're
not ready yet.

Norville, is
the pinata set?

Yes indeedy, clifford!

Flo and zo,
is the music set?

All set, clifford!

Jorge, how does
my face look?

Ha ha.
Totally clowny, amigo.

Ok, now
everybody hide,

So we can yell
"surprise!"

Clifford, the hose!

Oh, no!

[Sputtering and coughing]

Hey, what's going on?

Uh, surprise!

[No sound]

[Quiet honking]

Oh, hi, daffodil.

Yeah, I wanted to give you
a surprise party

For your birthday.

But it didn't turn out
like I'd planned.

A surprise party?

Oh, why, thank you,
clifford!

What a nice thing
to do!

You mean, you're
not disappointed?

But, there's no drinks.

And there's no pinata.

And there's no music.

And there's no clown.

It's really not much
of a party at all.

You silly, I don't need
any of those things
to have a great party.

All I need are my friends,
and they're all here!

Gee, now I'm surprised.

Si, clifford.

I guess we all
had it wrong.

I'm sorry for the bad
party tips, amigo.

Me, too.

Daffodil's right.

Having your friends
with you is the best
part of any party.

And you know, if you
really think about it,

I am as much fun
as a clown.

Happy birthday,
daffodil!

[Barking, chirping, and meowing]

Make a wish, daffodil.

[Cheering]

You know what,
clifford?

I already have
my birthday wish.

A really
great friend!

[Ruff]

Clifford,
where are you, boy?

[Ruff ruff]

Wanna read a story,
clifford?

[Bark]

Ok, pick one out!

Thanks, clifford.

This looks like
a great story.

Today's story is
"speckle and the terrific tour."

One morning reba was showing
the g*ng a great book

That had pictures of exotic
places all over the world.

The g*ng wished they could
visit such exciting places.

Then speckle said they could!

All they needed was a little bit
of help from their imaginations.

Speckle pretended
he was their conductor

And collected
everyone's tickets.

And once they were seated
on the travel train,

The tour began.

At their first stop,

Darnell pointed out
a beautiful house in the sky.

Ravi and luna were amazed

By the wild sea creature
they passed.

And reba loved exploring
the untamed jungle,

And discovering its
lovely surprises.

When the trip was over, there
was only one thing left to do.

And that was to thank
the conductor--

For taking them on such
a terrific tour.

The end.

I love reading
stories together.

You know clifford,
for such a small dog,

You sure are a big reader.

[Bark]

Ready to watch me spin
in a circle, daffodil?

Ready, clifford!

Here I go!

Whoa!

Ha ha! Ta da!

That was really good,
clifford!

Hey, cliffy boy,
you want to see some spinning,

Get a load of this!

Watch the birdie,

And count how many
circles I can do.

Zoom! Zoom!



Oh, wow! That was
amazing, norville!

Nothing to it.

Oh! Whoa! Whooaaa!

Norville!

Norville, are
you all right?

Sure. Sure, little reds.

Hey, you didn't tell
me you had twins.

Oh. Now there's
only one of you two.

Are you sure
you're all right?

Absolutely--
ow! Ow! Ow!

What's wrong?

I think I hurt my wing.
No, I'm sure.

I'll go get
emily elizabeth!

She'll help!

[Barking]

Here we go. You're
gonna be ok, fella.

This little bird
is a special friend
of clifford's.

He's going to be
all right,
isn't he, dad?

I think he just
sprained his wing, sweetie.

He should be all right
in a few days.

But he's going to need someone
to take good care of him.

Oh, I could do it!
He can stay in my room.

He's a very lucky little bird
to have you as his nurse.

Ok, birdie.

Now we have to make you
a nice little nest

Where you can rest and heal.

Oh, look, we've got
an empty shoebox.

That'll be perfect.
Thanks, daffodil!

Now we just need something
soft to put in it.

Let's see...

[Whimpers]

Aw, thanks clifford.

You're giving the little
bird your blanket?

[Bark bark]

[Sigh] oh, yeah.

Now, I'm going to get you
a drink of water.

Thanks, guys.

We just want you to
get better, norville.

You know what? I feel
better already.

Hey, that emily elizabeth
is really something,

Isn't she?

I'm not used to being
fussed over like this.

Yeah, well she's the best
fusser-overer ever.

She'll take
good care of you,

Just like she takes
good care of us!

Wait and see!

[Yawn]

Morning, norville!

Hey! Hey! Ho!
Hi, hi! Hello!

I'm sorry,
did I wake you?

Oh, no, I've
been up since dawn.

You know what they say.

The early bird
catches that worm.

Eww, why would you
want to do that?

Don't knock it
until you try it.

How are you feeling
today, norville?

Ow! You know what?
It still hurts a little.

Well, emily elizabeth's
dad did say

It would take a few days
for you to get better.

I have a special
breakfast treat
for someone!

Oh, boy, oh, boy,
oh, boy!

I bet that's
emily elizabeth with
my puppy doodles!

She knows
they're my favorite.

[Ruff ruff]

[Giggles]

Hi, clifford.

Here you go,
little bird.

I brought you
a special breakfast.

Oh, it looks like
you need fresh water.

Oh, boy, breakfast in bed!

And it is crunchy!

Uh, I'm glad you
like them, norville.

Oh, I thought those
were my puppy doodles.

Well, remember,
clifford.

Norville needs
a little extra
attention.

He's the one
who was hurt.

Oh, I know.

You're right, daffodil.

I'll be back in a minute

To read someone a
special bedtime story.

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!

Whenever emily elizabeth
says that

She always reads
my favorite book.

It's all about
a little pup that
lives on the moon.

And whoosh! He blasts
off into space.

And and and--
oh, here she comes!

Now, let's see.

You know what?
I'll bet our guest
would like this one.

"Once upon a treetop,

"There was a mama bird,
a papa bird

And an itty, bitty baby bird."

Oh...

Where are you going?
Isn't it story time?

Oh, emily elizabeth's not
reading my favorite book.

She's reading something
about a bird for norville.

Well, he is the one
that's hurt, clifford.

Oh, I guess.

[Sigh]

Clifford, I can't find
your jingle ball anywhere.

Will you help me look?

[Bark bark]

Ha ha! Oh, boy,
oh, boy, oh, boy!

Emily elizabeth's
going to play
jingle ball with me!

If I can find it.

[Sniff sniff]

Nope, not in there.

Maybe I left it
in the bedroom.

Ok, now roll it back.

[Chirp]

Very good, birdie!

Now what is it?

Emily elizabeth's playing
jingle ball with norville.

I'm sure you
could play, too
if you wanted.

She only wants
to play with him.

Remember, clifford,

Norville is the one
who's hurt.

If you got hurt,

Emily elizabeth
would take

Extra special care
of you, too.

Uh, you're right!

Now, what's going on
in that little puppy
brain of yours?

Uh, nothing!

Now, you wait right here
and I'll go get you
some new treats.

[Whimpering]

Oh, no, clifford,
are you all right?

Did you hurt your paw?

[Whimpering]

[Barking]

Aw, there's nothing
wrong with you, clifford.

You're fine, you
silly little puppy.

Aw...

Lucky birds.

You feeling better,
norville?

Hey, little red,
how's it wagging?

[Laughs] you get it?
How is it wagging?

Great. Just great.

Wow, you don't sound great.

Really? Well, maybe
that's because...

Because, uh,
because I'm cold!

Whoa!

I want my blanket
back! Now!

But you said I could use it
until my wing got better.

Well that's before I knew
it would take forever!

Now, let go!

No! You let go!

No, you let go!

Not until I'm better!

Hey! I am better!

Norville!
Your wing works!

Ta da! Yeah, it does!
Isn't this great?!

Whoopee! That's
great, norville!

Now you
can fly again!

Whew, what a relief.

Guess I won't be needing
that blanket any more, though.

Oh, gosh. I'm sorry
I was acting so mean
about the blanket.

Aw, that's okay,
little red.

But did I do something
to make you mad?

No. It's just that,
well...

Emily elizabeth
has been doing
everything with you

That she used to do
with me.

Feeding you
special treats,

Reading you stories,

Playing games with you.

Sheesh, do I know.

How can you stand being
fussed over so much?

Huh? You mean you
don't like it?

Excuse me,
don't get me wrong.

I did at first
and it's a nice change,

But I'm used to being
free as a bird.

Still, I didn't act
like a good friend.

I guess I got jealous
of all the attention
you were getting.

Well, now you
can have it back

Because I'm ready to hit
the wild blue yonder.

I'm really glad
you're feeling
better, norville.

I know you are pup,
'cause you're my pal.

Oh, my goodness!

The little bird
can fly again!

[Chirping]

It looks like you're
ready to go home.

Bye, little bird!

Oh, I'm happy
he's feeling better,

But I'm going to miss
taking care of him.

Lucky for me, I've got
the two best pets

In the whole wide
world right here
to keep me company!

[Ruff]

[Clifford laughing]

Emily elizabeth: having toys
is a lot of fun.

And they're even more fun

When you share them
with your friends.

Hey, jorge!
Want to play?

But that's your
brand-new ball!

Are you sure?

Sure I'm sure!

I can't play catch
by myself.

All right!

Flo! Zo! Come on!

We're playing catch
with my new ball!

[Cheering]

Now, this is what
I call fun!

Emily elizabeth:
clifford and I know that
playing is a lot more fun

When we share with our friends.

That's why clifford's idea
to grow on today is "share"!

[Ruff]
