Hello, baby.
Hi there.
Hee hee.
You're so cute.
Oh, there's my boy.
So sweet you are.
Uh...hello, baby.
How are--uh!
[Giggling]
All: aww!
[Lucy sighs deeply]
Daffodil: he is so adorable,
mrs. Sidarski.
Thank you, daffodil.
[Baby crying]
Uh-oh.
Someone's hungry.
Who'd like to help me
feed the baby?
Me! I will!
I will! I will!
I will!
[Deep sigh]
Ha ha ha!
How about if you all
help me?
Bye!
Bye!
Bye!
Bye.
See ya.
Bye!
Wow! It must be
really cool
To have a new baby
brother in your family.
It has its moments.
Lucy?
Aren't you gonna help
feed your new brother?
No.
Why not?
What's the big deal?
He's just a baby.
All he does is eat
And sleep and cry.
I was a baby once,
too, you know.
Me, too.
In fact, I was
the one and only baby
Of the house,
Until clifford
came along, that is.
Did you like it
when he came?
Of course she did.
We had a great time
together,
Right, daffodil?
Well, to be honest, uh...
I really wasn't
so crazy about you--
Not at first.
Huh? You weren't?
Wh-what was it like
When emily elizabeth
First brought
clifford home, daffodil?
Well...i remember
the first time I heard
There was going to be
a new baby in the house,
It was emily elizabeth's
birthday.
As usual, I was
the center of attention.
[Kids chattering
excitedly]
You're the best bunny
in the whole world.
I love you, daffodil.
Mom: kids, time for cake!
[Kids laughing
and chattering]
[Sighs]
I ama great bunny,
aren't i?
Mom: happy birthday,
emily elizabeth.
Dad: make a wish.
Yay!
All right!
[Kids cheering]
Mom: you didn't wish
for a puppy, did you?
[Gasp] a puppy?!
That's exactly
what I wished for!
Well, mr. Bradley's dog
had a litter of puppies
Last month.
And he'd like
to give you one.
If you want one,
that is.
Ohh! Oh, yes!
I do, I do!
Oh, thank you!
Isn't it great, daffodil?
We're getting a puppy!
The two of you
are gonna be best friends!
I just know it!
Lucy: emily elizabeth
was right, wasn't she?
You arebest friends.
Well, I do kind of
like the little guy--now.
But it took a while.
At first,
I couldn't understand
Why emily elizabeth
would want a puppy
When she already had me.
[Panting]
[Growling]
Ha ha.
What a sweetheart.
Koochie koochie koo!
Mom: oh, isn't he precious?
What a good puppy.
So precious!
Yes, he is.
Yes, he is.
Good boy!
[Panting]
Clifford:
ruff ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff!
I love you, clifford!
Oh, thank you so much
For the best
birthday present ever!
[Gasp]
[Thump thump thump]
Well, now,
look who's here.
I think daffodil
Wants to spend some
time with clifford.
Go on, clifford.
Go say hi to
your big sister daffodil.
[Slurp slurp]
All: aww!
He really likes you,
daffodil.
Ruff ruff!
[Panting]
[Toy squeaking]
I'm sorry, daffodil.
I know we usually
play together
in the afternoons,
But I have to take clifford
for his walk first.
I think I'll come along.
Me, too.
I could use some air.
Come on, boy.
Let's go for a walk.
Ruff ruff!
Isn't it wonderful
Having clifford here
with us, daffodil?
Daffodil: wonderful?
I didn't think
it was at all wonderful
Having clifford with us.
[Squeak squeak]
And then it got worse.
One afternoon,
Emily elizabeth
took us both
To pet day
at the library.
Did you bring that wonderful
little bunny of yours
Again this year,
emily elizabeth?
I sure did, mr. Solomon.
[Kids chattering
excitedly]
So cute!
You know, daffodil's
visit last year
Inspired me
to write my book,
"A honey of a bunny."
Did you hear that,
daffodil?
You're a star.
Girl: whoo! Ha!
Who is this?!
[Kids laughing
and chattering]
This is clifford,
my new puppy.
[Kids chattering
excitedly]
He's so cute!
Ruff ruff ruff err!
Oh, brother.
Everyone keeps saying
Clifford is so little
and so cute.
[Exasperated sigh]
Hey.
Maybe if they see
how little and cute I am,
Emily elizabeth will realize
That she doesn't need
clifford around anymore.
She might even return him!
Uhh!
[Kids chattering excitedly]
[All gasp]
Daffodil!
What are you doing?
Oh--no, no!
You have to treat books
very carefully.
They're very precious.
You can't ever push them
on the floor like that.
This is one of my
very favorite books.
It's all about the different
types of bridges
That can be built.
[Kids all talking
at once]
Wow!
Wow!
That's one beautiful
bridge, isn't it?
Ooh!
Wow!
Wow, this bridge
is really big!
It's amazing how different
all these bridges
Can look from one another.
[Sniffing]
Look at clifford.
[Kids laughing]
He fits right in,
he's so little.
[Gasp] daffodil!
Daffodil, no!
No, you're too big
to do that!
[Kids all shouting]
Look at that!
Hey, don't do that!
[Kids all shouting]
Oh, it's ok, daffodil.
I'll get you out.
Just calm down.
You're ok now,
daffodil.
I've got you.
Fortunately,
our book is ok, too.
I'm so sorry,
mr. Solomon.
I guess daffodil
just didn't realize
What a big girl she is.
Gosh, daffodil,
I'm sorry.
I didn't know
it was so awful.
It wasn't awful.
I just thought it was.
Emily elizabeth still
paid lots of attention to me,
And she told me all the time
how much she loved me.
But I just wasn't used to
living with you yet.
Well, it sure sounds like
it was awful to me.
The truth is, lucy,
I was just jealous
Of all the attention
that clifford was getting,
And I didn't want to share
emily elizabeth
with anyone else.
I know what you mean.
So, what did you do?
Well...
One day, emily elizabeth
Came home and announced...
Daffodil! Clifford!
It's a special day today.
Clifford has been with us
for one whole week now.
So I brought you each
a present to celebrate.
I'm so lucky
to have both of you.
Mom: emily elizabeth,
come on. It's time to go!
I'm going to the store
with mom right now.
But I know you two will be
just fine here alone.
After all,
you have each other.
[Barking]
Hmmph.
Ruff ruff!
I don't want to play
right now, clifford.
[Whimpers]
[Thunder]
Whoa!
Oh, it's just thunder.
[Clifford whimpering]
[Teeth chattering]
What is it, clifford?
Are you scared?
Mm-hmm.
Well...
Come here, little guy.
[Thunder]
[Yipping]
[Teeth chattering]
Don't worry. That's
just thunder, clifford.
It happens a lot
when it rains.
[Slurp slurp]
Wow.
That's a great story,
daffodil.
And now clifford
is your best friend.
He's more than
my friend, lucy.
He's my brother.
I mean, you just
gotta love him.
[Baby crying]
Ohh, baby, shh...
Hush, now. Hush.
What's the matter
with him, mama?
Nothing, really.
The baby's just
very cranky
And I can't get him
to stop crying.
Don't cry, baby.
I'm lucy,
your big sister,
And we're gonna be
best friends.
[Stops crying]
Mama.
He stopped,
Just for you, lucy.
[Laughs]
of course he did.
He's my brother,
And you just gotta
love him.
Look at that.
Ruff!
Emily elizabeth:
clifford!
Where are you, boy?
Ruff ruff!
Want to read a story,
clifford?
Ruff.
Ok. Pick one out.
Ha ha. Thanks, clifford.
This looks like
a great story.
[Toy squeaks]
Today's story is
"speckle and the brand-new toy."
Speckle had just gotten
a brand-new toy.
He loved playing with it,
Because even though
it was very small,
It was
a whole lot of fun.
Naturally,
speckle couldn't wait
To share it
with his friends.
But when ravi, luna,
reba, and darnell
All showed up together,
The friends wondered
how they could all
Possibly play with
such a teeny toy
at the very same time.
But then speckle
got an idea.
He thought of a way
that all of his friends
Could enjoy the bubble-maker
and its beautiful bubbles
At the same time.
[Blowing]
Using speckle's great idea,
The group found
that one tiny toy
Led to lots of big fun.
[Friends giggling]
The end.
I love reading stories
together.
You know, clifford,
For such a small dog,
You sure are
a big reader.
Ruff!
Emily elizabeth, nina,
come on!
Let's check out the trains!
[Panting excitedly]
[Train whistle]
Wouldn't it be fun
to build one of these?
It sure would!
[Sniffing]
[Mechanical barking]
Ow!
Ruff!
[Panting]
Uhh!
Ruff ruff ruff!
[Panting]
Ruff ruff--
Clifford?
Clifford!
Ruff ruff ruff!
Ha ha ha!
Oh, there you are, boy!
[Giggles]
Look at the funny kite,
guys.
And look at all those
other kites.
Wow!
Guys, look! Over here.
Oh, hi, kids.
Those kites are great, huh?
They sure are.
Oh, they're so neat!
Uh-huh!
Then you should come
to the special
kite-flying day
We're sponsoring
at the park next weekend.
Everyone will be
flying kites, including me.
Well, have fun
looking around.
Thanks!
We will!
See ya!
I think I might have
just enough allowance
to buy one.
Me, too.
How about you, shun?
I have enough,
But I also have an idea.
These books are called
"how to" books.
How to?
How to what?
How to make stuff.
Like kites,
for instance.
Ohh! You mean instead of
buying our kites,
We could make them?
That's it exactly.
If we put
our money together,
We can buy this book
And learn to make
our own kites.
Sounds fun to me.
What do you think,
clifford?
Ruff ruff!
Ruff!
Ha ha. I guess you think
it's a good idea, too.
[Panting]
Well, we've double-checked
the instructions
In the book,
And it looks like we've
got everything we need
To build our kites.
We've got sticks cut out
from the orange crates,
Thanks to my dad.
And we've got
glue, string, paint,
Paintbrushes,
wrapping paper, and...
All my favorite stuff
To decorate my kite with.
I've got glitter, buttons,
ribbons, photos, you name it.
Ha ha. Now all we need
is shun
So that we can get started.
Here I am!
And I'm ready to go.
What's all this stuff,
shun?
It's japanese washi paper
and bamboo.
My mom took me
to a special store
to get them.
I'm gonna make a traditional
japanese kite.
It's beautiful!
Oh, I love it!
I'm going to make
a box kite.
And I'm making
a 2-stick frame kite
That I'm going to decorate
with all my my cool
artsy craft supplies.
Great! Let's get started.
Ok. I folded the paper.
Now what?
"Place the stick
inside the fold,
"But remember
to work carefully,
"As the sticks
can be easily broken
"If not used properly.
And the delicate paper
can be easily torn."
Oh, I won't tear it.
"Only one or 2 decorations
are suggested,
"As too much weight
May cause kite to fly
with difficulty."
Only one or 2?
But I have a whole bucket!
"Use caution
as you place the sticks,
"And wrap them securely.
"Remember,
a carefully built kite
Flies right."
[Chuckles] right.
[Growling]
[Snoring]
There!
I'm finished!
And I'm finished, too.
Oops! Not quite.
I think my kite
needs one more thing.
Like I always say,
you can never have
enough glitter!
I still have
some painting to do,
But why don't you guys
go test your kites out
in the courtyard?
Great idea, shun!
Meet us down there
when you're done.
Gosh, my kite feels
kind of heavy.
But I'm sure it'll fly
just great.
Ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff ruff!
Ruff ruff ruff!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Look, clifford!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
[Tearing]
[Gasp] oh, no!
My kite!
It's got a rip in it.
But it's such a little rip.
My kite should fly
just fine.
[Grunting]
Uhh...ooh!
Come on, kite!
Fly!
[Breathing hard]
Up...
Up, and--
Oops!
I guess our kites
Aren't exactly
flying, are they?
No.
[Gasp] but wait!
Maybe it's because
we're not running fast enough.
I think I know
who can help with that.
[Sigh]
[sigh]
I think that maybe
that hole I got in my kite
Is a bigger problem
than I thought.
I think that's why
it won't fly.
And I think my kite
won't fly
Because it's so heavy.
I should have just
picked one or two things
To glue on my kite.
And I guess I should have
followed the directions.
Especially the part
About how you have to
handle kites carefully.
[Wind howling]
Ah! The wind's perfect,
isn't it?
Oh, it's beautiful, shun.
You did a great job.
Thanks.
I can't wait
to fly it.
Let's go.
Come on, let's fly
our kites together.
We'd love to, shun,
But our kites won't fly.
I ripped a hole in mine
because I wasn't careful.
And mine, well,
it's just too heavy.
But...what about
the special
Kite-flying day
at the park?
We were all gonna fly
our kites together.
Can't you both make
another kite?
I'm sorry, shun,
But nina and I used up
all of our materials
On those kites.
Nina: we should have been
more careful
When we were building them.
And carrying them.
But now we know.
And now we don't have
any kites to fly.
Shun: wait.
I know!
We can all fly
my kite!
Come on!
Oh, ok.
Thanks, shun.
My, you certainly did
a wonderful job
On your kite, shun.
It's beautiful.
Thanks, mom.
I really liked making it,
And flying it, too.
Oh. I see you still have
Plenty of japanese bamboo
and washi paper left.
What do you plan
to do with it?
Gosh, I don't know.
Maybe I'll make
more kites
After I've flown
this one for a while.
Well, the paper
is just beautiful.
I'm sure whatever
you use it for
Will be really special.
Hmm.
We'd love to, shun,
But our kites won't fly.
Really special.
Emily elizabeth!
Nina!
Let's get started.
Ha ha!
Yahoo!
Come on, everybody!
We don't want to be late
for kite-flying day.
Oh, your kite
turned out great, nina!
Thank you.
This time, I really
followed the directions
And only used
one decoration.
And your kite turned out
great, too, emily elizabeth.
Thanks, shun.
This time around,
I'm being extra careful
with my kite.
I didn't twirl it once.
I'm sure glad
I had enough bamboo
and washi paper
For, well...everybody!
Ruff ruff ruff ruff!
And I'm glad I had enough
for you, too, pups.
Thanks again, shun.
You're the best.
You're welcome.
I have a feeling
This'll be a day
we'll never forget.
Me, too!
Me, too!
[All laughing]
Ruff ruff ruff ruff!
Ruff.
[All laughing]
Grrr!
Ruff ruff!
Clifford!
Oh! That's emily elizabeth.
I gotta 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.
We will!
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.
Eew!
Eew!
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]
