Jorge, flo, zo?

Unh!

Hey, where is everyone?

Oh, good! There's norville!

Hup. There it is.

Unh!

Hiya, norville!

Ya! What is it?

Oh, hello there, pup.

You surprised me
a little.

Oh. Sorry, norville.

So where is
everybody?

Ha! Where is everybody?

Why, they're all
getting ready of course.

Getting ready?
For what?

Uh-oh. Don't you know
what today is?

It's valentine's day!

It's valentine's day?
Today?

Oh, you are
so correct, pup,

And that is why I'm
making this necklace here

For my dear, sweet mother.

I love you, mom!

But I'm not the only one
doing something
special, you know.

Just this morning,
I saw jorge giving
nina a flower.

And flo and zo
were singing a song
for mr. Solomon.

He was loving it.

♪ Meow, meow,
meow, meow, meow, meow ♪

I even saw evan
serving his parents
breakfast in bed,

And did those pancakes
ever look good?

Oh, yes, they did.

Wow! I want to do
something special for
emily elizabeth, too.

That's the valentine
day spirit there, red.

Ok! Well, bye, norville!

Hey, see you, red.

Whoa! Whoa!
Whoo-hoo!

Ahem.

Excuse me.
Do you mind?

I was just about
to lie down

For some beauty sleep.

Oh. Uh, sorry,
daffodil.

[Rattling]

Ohh. What on earth
could that puppy
be doing now?

[Grunting]

Clifford, what
are you doing?

Oh, uh, hey,
daffodil.

I'm trying to make
a--eegh--

A valentine's day
card for--unh--

E-emily elizabeth!

Ha ha ha!

Uh, oops.

Well, you're off
to an interesting start.

Ha ha ha! Thanks!

Now I just have to
make the card.

See you!

Hmm. Maybe I should
make emily elizabeth
a valentine, too.

After all, it would
be a shame

To let my
artistic talent
go to waste.

Hey, there, clifford.
How's the valentine

For emily elizabeth
coming?

Oh, great!
I just finished it.

See?

It's two paw prints

To show
emily elizabeth

How much I love her.

Aha. Very nice.

You know, I actually
made emily elizabeth
a valentine, too.

You did?

Uh-huh.

Wow. Your paw prints
are much neater
than mine.

Yes. What can I say?

I'm known
for my neatness.

And you used
glitter, too.

Oh, you noticed?

Yeah. I think it
makes the valentine

Extra special,
don't you?

Well, I guess I'll
set this on the table

So it will be
the first thing
emily elizabeth sees

When she comes home
from school.

[Norville chirping]

Hey, clifford, look.

I finished the necklace
for my mom!

Wow! That's great,
norville.

I bet your mom is
gonna love it.

Uh-huh.

Well, I wish I thought
emily elizabeth

Was gonna love
my present.

Of course
she'll love it!

What are you
talking about?

Well, I decided
to make her
a valentine, but--

Valentines are
very good!

Well, yeah,
but then daffodil

Made her
a valentine, too.

Only hers is
much neater
than mine,

And it has glitter.

Glitter. Oh, boy!

That sounds like
some kind of valentine.

Yeah. So what
do I do?

I have to give
emily elizabeth
a present

That's just as good
as daffodil's.

Ok. Ok. Let's put
our thinking caps on.

We need a present.

I know! I know!

What is it?
What is it?

Well, you should
do something helpful
for emily elizabeth

Like...make her bed.

Make her bed?

Well, that's
a great idea,
norville.

Thanks!

Yeah, that's what I do.

[Grunting]

Ohh. Now what
is he up to?

Clifford?
Ohh!

Uh, hi, daffodil.

Hello, clifford.

What you doing now?

I'm making
emily elizabeth's bed
for valentine's day.

Oh. I thought you
were giving her a card
for valentine's day.

Well, I am,
but this is
another present.

I'm doing
something helpful!

Huh. Unh!

Hmm.

Maybe I should
do something
helpful, too.

[Grunting]

Phew!

Oh. Hey, there,
clifford.

How's the bed-making
coming?

I just finished!

Ta-da!

You think emily elizabeth
is gonna like it?

Oh, sure.
Almost as much
as she's gonna like

Her new
superclean room.

Ohh! The toys
are put away,

The clothes are
in the hamper,

Even the books
are stacked up.

Daffodil, did you
do all this?

I figured I should
do something
helpful, too,

You know,
today being

Valentine's day
and all.

♪ La la la ♪

Hee hee!
Ciao, clifford!

Norville, norville!

Oh! What?!

Oh, there goes
my lunch.

Oh. Hey, there,
clifford.

So how's
the bed-making coming?

Good, I guess,

But take a look at
what daffodil did.

Wowee-zowee.

That is the cleanest room
I have ever seen
in my whole life!

Oh, what am I
gonna do?

Every time I do
something special
for emily elizabeth,

Daffodil does
something bigger
and better.

Ok. Don't panic.
I'm not.

Let me just think.

All right.
I'm thinking.

Nothing is coming
at all.

Ohh.

I see you've
noticed my
latest

Valentine present.

I mean, how could
you miss it, right?

Ha ha! Oh. Sure.
It's nice,

But it's not as good
as my valentine present.

Pha!

[Gasps]

Emily elizabeth!

She's home!

Now we'll find out
whose presents

She really
likes best.

Well, hello there,
daffodil,

And hello to you,
too, clifford.

Oh, a valentine's
day card.

I love it!
Thank you,
daffodil.

Ruff. Ruff. Arf.

Oh, wow!
Thank you, clifford.

I love this card,
too.

Hold on. I need
to go put
my backpack away.

I don't understand.

She didn't say
which present
she liked better.

I know. How come?

Well, one thing's
for sure.

She's definitely
gonna like my
room cleanup

Better than
your bed-making.

Oh, really?
We'll see
about that.

Who cleaned up
my room?

Daffodil, what
a wonderful

Valentine's day
present!

Thank you!

But then
who made my bed?

Ruff! Ruff!
Arf, arf, arf!

Thank you, clifford.

That's a great present, too!

Ok. What's going
on here?

I don't know.
How come she didn't say

Which present
she liked better?

Now, wait here.

I made valentine
presents for you, too.

What just
happened here?

How could
emily elizabeth like

Both of our presents
the same?

It's as if she
would have liked
anything we gave her.

Oh. Uh, maybe
that's it.

What's it?

Well, maybe
emily elizabeth

Really doesn't care
how big or fancy
our presents are.

Maybe she just likes
that we want to
make her happy.

Because when you
love someone,

It doesn't matter
what you give them.

What's important
is that you love them.

Ok. I made
two valentine presents,

One for each of--
ha ha ha!

I didn't
even show you
the presents yet.

Aw. Happy
valentine's day
to you, too.

Here you go.

Ruff! Ruff!
Arf! Arf! Ruff! Arf!

I thought you'd
like them!

Hey, daffodil.
Guess what.

I'm making a valentine
for someone else
around here.

And who's that?

Heh heh! You.

Oh. Well,
that's funny

Because I'm making
a valentine for you!

You are?
Well, that's great!

I'm sure
I'm gonna love it!

I bet I'm gonna love
your valentine more.

No way!
I'm gonna love
your valentine more!

I don't think so!

I know so!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Maybe we could
love them
both the same.

It's a deal!

Ruff!

Emily elizabeth: clifford!
Where are you, boy?

Ruff ruff!

Want to read a story,
clifford?

Ruff!

Ok. Pick one out.

[Giggles]
thanks, clifford.

This looks like
a great story.

[Toy squeaks]

Today's story is "speckle
and the surprising story."

Speckle and his friends
were gathered around

Listening to speckle tell
a brand-new story.

It was about brave explorers
searching for buried treasure,

But just as speckle
reached the most exciting
part of the story,

He was said it was ravi's turn
to tell what happened next.

Ravi thought for a moment,

Then said the explorers
found a mysterious blue door.

What was behind it?

Reba said the door opened
to a secret tunnel

That led to the very top
of a tall mountain,

Where they went sliding
on a supercharged sled

All the way down to...

"A circus," said darnell.

As the day went on,
speckle, ravi, reba,
luna, and darnell

All took turns creating
a truly surprising story,

Which was so much fun
because the whole g*ng
created it together.

The end.

I love reading
stories together.

You know, clifford,

For such
a small dog,

You sure are
a big reader!

Ruff!

Tomorrow, I'm going
over to nina's,

And we're gonna make
valentines for everyone
in our class!

That will be fun.

Clifford, are you
going to help?

Ruff! Ruff!
Arf! Arf! Arf!
Ruff! Arf!

Ha ha ha!
I guess that
means yes.

Ruff!

Speaking
of valentine's day,

The community center
is having

A father-daughter,
mother-son
sweetheart's dance.

That's sounds great!

Yeah, I was hoping
you'd think that.

Would you like
to go with me?

Me? At a real dance?

Oh, I'd love to go!

You're coming
with us, too,
aren't you, mom?

Sure I'll be there.

I promised
to go early

To help with
the decorations.

Oh, I just love
dances!

May i?

You certainly may.

Ha ha ha!

Ah! Ha ha ha!

Wow! You two
are really good!

Ruff! Ruff!
Arf! Arf!

Oh, that was
fantastic!

Ha ha ha!
We always have
a good time dancing,

And so will you!

Just think.
You'll be able to
get all dressed up.

Dad, voice-over:
and I hear the bakery

Is supplying
delicious treats.

And best of all,
you'll get to dance
with your dad.

It will be great.

You're going
to love it,
emily elizabeth.

I can't wait.

Oh, what am I
gonna do, clifford?

Ruff!

I like to move around
to music,

But I don't know how
to really dance.

It's going to be
so embarrassing.

Maybe I could
practice.

I could teach myself
the dance mom and dad
did in the kitchen.

Will you be
my partner, clifford?

Ruff!

[Stations changing]

[Music playing]

Perfect!

You look very nice
today, clifford.

Ruff!

Shall we dance?

Arf! Arf!

Oh!

It's ok, clifford.

We'll get it.

Oh! Whoa! Ohh!

Ohh. This is going
to be harder
than I thought.

How was school today?

It was great!

Aren't you going
to nina's to make
valentines?

I'm supposed to be
there in half an hour,

So I'm going to study
in my room first.

See you!

She must really want
to study today.

Clifford, look
what I found

At the school
library.

This book will teach
me how to dance!

Ruff! Ruff!

It even comes
with little feet
to guide you.

All we have to do
is arrange them

On the floor
like they are in the book.

Then we just
follow the music.

[Music playing]

May I have
this dance?

Ruff!

Here we go!

Half step forward,
full step back,

Two steps to the--

Oh, wait, wait.
Let's try again.

Ruff! Ruff!

Ok. Ok. Here we go.

Half step back

And then
a full step forward.

[Grunting]

I'm never gonna
be able to do this.

I've only got
one hope left.

Ruff! Ruff!

Maybe no one else
I know will go
to the dance!

[Whimpers]

You know what these
valentines need?

What?

Glitter!

You're right, nina!
Glitter's exactly
what they need.

So are you doing
anything special
for valentine's day?

We've got
the valentines
for school.

Right. Ha!

My mom and I
are baking

A heart-shaped cake
for my grandparents.

Oh, that should
be fun!

And of course
the dance!
Dance?

The sweetheart's dance
at the community center.

Aren't you
and your dad going?

Oh, sure.
Of course we're going.

I'm gonna wear
my favorite dress!

Me, too.

And the bakery's
bringing delicious treats.

Mm. It's gonna
be great!

I think so, too.

Then my dad and I
are gonna do
the tango.

What's the tango?

It's the best
dance ever.

I've never even
seen it.

Oh! We can show you.
Dad!

Yes? What is it?

Can we show
emily elizabeth
our tango?

Can we?
How can we not?

I never give up
the chance
to tango.

[Tango music playing]

May I please
have this dance?

[Barking]

Oh! That was great!

It's so much fun.

Would you like
to try?

Sure!

I mean, I would,
but I'm saving
my dancing

For the dance.

Ok. Then we'll
see you dance
at the dance.

Did you see how well
they danced the tango?

[Whimpers]

They were great!

How can I ever dance
next to them?

Hi, guys!

Hi, emily elizabeth.

What do you have
there?

Oh. I had my suit
dry-cleaned.

We want to
look our best
at the dance.

I'm really excited
about it.

Me, too.

Mom and I have
been practicing
our dance all week.

What kind of dance
is it?

The cha-cha!

The cha-cha?

I've never even
heard of that.

Oh, it's a lot of fun.

I learned it
when I was a kid,

And I've been teaching
it to shun.

Would you like
to see it?

I'd love to!

Ready?

Ha! Ready.











[Both laughing]

Whoops!

Ruff! Ruff!

Ha! That was great!

Thanks. I'm still
learning it,
but it's fun!

I think you do it
really well.

You want me
to show you?

No!

I mean, no, thank you.

I'm saving up
all my dancing
for the dance.

Oh. I can't wait
to see it!

Neither can i.

Aw, look at you.
You look wonderful.

You, too, dad.

Are you excited
about tonight?

Oh, I'm
really excited.

It's just,
I was wondering,

Do we have to dance?

What do you mean?

Well, wearing
these fancy clothes

And eating
the delicious food

Seems like enough!

I mean, we don't
have to actually
dance, do we?

No, we don't
have to dance,

But I think we'll
have a lot more fun
if we do.

But I don't how
to tango or cha-cha.

I don't know how to
do any dances,

So I'll be
the only one there
who can't dance.

Aw, emily elizabeth,
I wish you'd said
something earlier.

If I'd known
you were worried
about it,

I'd have practiced
with you.

I guess it's
a little late
for that now.

Listen, honey.
You don't have
to know

Any special dances
to have a good time,

But if it will make
you feel better,

I can teach you
a secret that
my mom taught me

Before
my first dance.

A secret? Really?

Sure.
Let's practice.

Ahem. May I have
this dance?

Uh, I guess.

Now here's
the secret.

[Whispering]

Hey. I think
I can do that.

Wish me luck,
clifford.

I'm going
to a dance!

Ruff! Arf! Arf!
Ruff!

Hi, guys.

Hi, emily elizabeth.

Hey,
emily elizabeth.

Hi. Your tango
looks great.

Thank you!

So are you ready?

Ready!

You remember
the secret?

I remember it!

Then let's dance.

This just
might work.

Of course it will.

Way to go,
emily elizabeth!

You look great!

What a super pair
of dancers.

Wow,
emily elizabeth!

You're
really good!

Thanks!

We sure are lucky
that I have
such big feet.

No. I sure am lucky
that you're my father.

And you were right.

It is a lot more fun
when you dance.

I've got one more
secret for you.

Really? What is it?

You're not dancing
on my feet anymore.

Hey! I'm doing it!
I'm dancing!

Ha ha ha!
And you're
doing it great.

Ruff!

Jorge: clifford,
I just found

A great new place
to bury bones!

Where?

It's a special
secret place,

So if I tell you,
do you promise not
to tell anyone?

I promise!

Ok. It's...

[Whispering]

Wow! That is
a great place, jorge!

Hey, little rouge,
jorge, what's new?

Jorge just found
a brand-new spot
to bury bones.

It's--oh.

Emily elizabeth:
clifford knows that
keeping a promise

Is a very important part
of being a good friend,

So whenever he makes a promise,
he keeps it.

Oh, I'm sorry,
norville.

I can't tell you
without jorge's
permission.

I made him
a promise.

Jorge, is it ok
if we tell norville?

Oh, sure. Norville
won't tell anybody.

By beak is sealed.

Emily elizabeth:
when you keep a promise,
you're being a good friend,

And that's why clifford's
idea to grow on for today
is be a good friend.

Ok, norville.
You are going to
be so surprised!

[Whispering]
