[Laughter]

[Woof]

I'’m proud of how well
you'’ve all done

In today'’s
spelling contest.

But now,
we'’re down to our
last contestants--

Emily elizabeth
and jetta.

Emily, spell
the word "monkey."

Monkey.

M-o-n...

K-e-e. "Monkey."

Ooh, I'’m sorry.

That'’s incorrect.

Jetta, spell
the word "monkey."

Monkey.

M-o-n-k-e-y.

"Monkey."

Correct!
Yes!

[Cheering]

Congratulations,
jetta.

You'’re the winner of
our spelling contest.

Great job, jetta.

Your medal
sure is beautiful.

I know.

[Squawk squawk]

[Squawk]

Hey, guys.

Hi, charley.

Jetta: hello.

Wanna play soccer?

Sounds fun,
but mom and I are
going shopping today.

I'’ll play, but
I better take off

My spelling champion
medal first.

Oh, would you please
put this over

On the bench for me,
emily elizabeth?

I don'’t want to
lose my beautiful,
shiny medal

While I'’m playing
soccer.

Come on, let'’s play!

[Squawk squawk]

[Woof woof]

[Sniffing]

Uh-uh-uh! No, mac.

No tummy yummies
in there.

Just my shiny
new medal.

Hmm--[gasp]--

My medal! It'’s gone!

And I bet
I know who took it.

[Chewing]

This rawhide bone
is great.

[Growls] yeah.

I wish cleo was here
to help us chew it up.

Cleo: hiya, guys.

Wow! How'’d you
do that, clifford?

Sorry I'’m late.

I was
at the groomers.

Your new bow
sure is shiny.

You could send
a secret message
with that bow.

A secret message?

With a bow?

Yeah, like tiny did
in the book emily
read me last night.

I'’d love to be
a detective like that.

Wouldn'’t you, t?

I don'’t know.

Would I have to wear
a shiny bow?

Look, there'’s
jetta and mac.

Jetta looks kinda mad.

Hey, mac.
What'’s going on?

Oh, not much.

Emily elizabeth
just stole jetta'’s
spelling medal, that'’s all.

What?!

She took it from
jetta'’s sweater pocket

At the park.

Emily elizabeth would
never take her medal.

I would never
take your medal.

You were jealous
because I won
the spelling contest,

So you stole it!

I did not!

Maybe you dropped it
on the way home
or something.

Are you sure
you didn'’t take it?

I promise.

I just can'’t
believe it'’s gone.

Well, I could help you
look for it, jetta.

[Sighs] ok.

Let'’s go, machiavelli.

We'’re gonna find my medal...

Even though
we already know
who has it.

Mac really thinks
emily elizabeth
stole that medal.

We know emily elizabeth
didn'’t take it.

I'’m sure
they'’ll find it.

Wait, what if
we found it?

How could
we do that?

We could be detectives.

Ooh, detectives!
I love it.

We'’ll start by looking
around the park.

Hold on!
Wait!

[Sniffing]

Aaaaah!
Wha?

[Snorts]

This was the last place
jetta saw the medal.

Do you smell anything?

Like what?

Like clues, t-bone.

What'’s a clue?

Anything that will
help lead us

To jetta'’s
missing medal.

Oh.

[Sniffs]

[Hard sniff]

Aah--aah--aah...

Ah-choo!

Is this a clue?

Maybe.

[Sniffs] hey,
there'’s a really
strong smell here.

[Sniffs] whoa!

This is real close
to the last place
jetta saw her medal.

Come on, let'’s
follow the smell.

[Sniffing]

[Sniffing]

[Chomp]

[Chomping]

[Sniffing]

[Sniffing]

[Sniffing]

The smell is getting
stinkier now!

Cleo sure is
a good sniffer.

[Arf arf arf]

I think she found
jetta'’s medal!

[Arf arf arf]

[Sniffs]

Ah, stop sniffing me
and go away!

That'’s not jetta'’s medal.

That'’s jetta.

[Squawk]
whoa!

Well, there'’s
no medal over there.

That'’s for sure.

Come on. Let'’s go
back to my house

And work on a new plan.

I'’m sorry we didn'’t
find your medal.

My neck is just
so bare without it.

[Squawking]

Are you absolutely,
positively sure

You didn'’t take it,
emily?

I said I didn'’t,

And it really
hurts my feelings

When you keep asking.

But...when I gave you
my sweater,

It was in the pocket.

And when I looked
in my pocket later,

It was gone.

I don'’t take things
that don'’t belong to me.

Hey. Where'’s my mirror?

Give it back, emily,
right now.

I didn'’t take it.

Just give it back.

I don'’t have it, jetta.

I'’m going home.

Oh, there'’s gotta be a way

To prove emily elizabeth
didn'’t take the medal.

She did it again,
clifford.

This time, she stole
jetta'’s mirror.

Cut it out, mac.

It had to be her.

She was the only one there.

You think she could
have, clifford?

I mean, maybe
she couldn'’t resist.

No. Emily elizabeth
didn'’t do anything wrong,

But I'’m gonna find out
who did.

Someone'’s taking things
that don'’t belong to them,

And we'’re gonna catch them.

Do you really think
someone will try

And steal
your bow, cleo?

Sure. Humans
love shiny stuff.

Cleo: look!
It'’s emily elizabeth.

She'’s gonna take it.

Clifford: no, she won'’t.

You lost your bow, cleo.

Let me put it back
in your hair for you.

There. It looks great.

See ya.

She didn'’t
take it, cleo.

No, but I wish
someone had.

Come on, guys.

Let'’s put the bow back
out on the sidewalk again

And see if someone else
takes it.

[Squawk squawk]

Oh, my gosh!

It'’s gone!

Emily elizabeth must
have changed her mind

And come back
to take it.

She didn'’t
take anything.

Jetta: ok, emily elizabeth,

I'’m gonna give you
one more chance

To return my medal
and my mirror.

I didn'’t take it,
jetta.

Why won'’t you
believe me?

We'’ve got to find
that medal.

Look. There'’s
a feather here

Where cleo'’s bow
used to be...

Just like the one
in the park.

[Sea bird squawking]

And that sound--

I heard it
at the ferry dock,

And I heard it again
when cleo'’s bow
was taken.

Good work, t.

Those are just
the clues we need.

[Squawk]

It'’s that bird that'’s making
all the noise, clifford.

Wow.

Emily elizabeth
has to see this.

[Squawk]

Emily elizabeth: clifford!
It'’s jetta'’s medal.

You found it.
You found it.

And look, there'’s her mirror
and cleo'’s shiny bow, too.

What are you doing,
emily elizabeth?

Clifford found
your medal, jetta.

[Gasp]
[gasp]

What?!

That old sea bird
must'’ve taken it.

Some birds are
very attracted
to shiny things.

Oh! This is amazing.

I told you I didn'’t
take it, jetta.

I wish you'’d
believed me.

Oh, I'’m sorry.

It just seemed
like you did.

But I guess it wasn'’t
very fair of me
to think that

When I didn'’t
know for sure.

[Apologetic whine]

At least there
was one friend

Who never doubted me.

The most loyal friend
I could ever have--

Clifford.

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time.

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

[Woof woof]

I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is...

"Speckle
and the really good book."

"One day, speckle
was walking home

"With a new book.

"It was one he'’d wanted
to read for a long time,

"So he was delighted
to have it at last.

"Darnell saw speckle'’s book

"And said he wanted
to read it, as well.

"Speckle said he'’d gladly
loan it to darnell

"When he was done.

"Then luna saw the book.

"It was on her list of books
she wanted to read.

"Speckle happily agreed
to lend it to luna

"When darnell was done.

"When ravi and reba
saw the book,

"They wanted
to read it, too.

"And they wondered
how long it'’d be

"Until they'’d get
their turn.

"Then speckle smiled

"And said he knew how they
could all enjoy the book

"With no waiting at all.

"He'’d read it
out loud to them

"Right now.

"Luna, darnell,
ravi, and reba

"Agreed that that
was a wonderful idea.

"And so,

"With listening ears on,
they gathered '’round

"To discover the new book
together.

The end."

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

[Woof]

Hee hee!

Thanks for helping me
make this stuff
for my party, charley.

This is gonna be
the best birthday
I ever had.

No problem.

Everyone will love
these newspaper
sea captain hats.

Hoist anchor
and trim the sails,
first mate emily!

Aye-aye, captain charley!

We'’re off to search
for a great white whale.

[Woof woof]

Emily: make that
a great redwhale.

These beans
in a paper cup
make great music.

[Shake shake shake]

Emily!

Have you seen
my morning paper?

Has anyone
seen the bowl of beans
I left on the counter?

I was gonna make soup.

Here'’s your newspaper,
dad.

And here are your beans,
mrs. Howard.

[Whimpering]

I guess we
should have asked

If we could use
these things first.

Yeah, I guess so.

Sorry.

But you told us
we could use stuff
around the house

For my birthday party
decorations.

That'’s true.

Ahh, we did.

[Woof woof-woof]

I think it'’s wonderful

That you two are making
all these things

For your party
by yourselves.

Charley and I are even
making up the games.

We'’re making everything
except the cake,
of course.

I'’m making the cake,
emily'’s absolute favorite:

Chocolate swirl
with vanilla frosting.

Mmm! Thanks, mom.

And I'’ll get these leaves
raked up nice and tidy
for you.

That'’s ok, dad.
Clifford'’s gonna take care
of that for us.

[Woof]

[Blowing]

[Emily and charley laugh]

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

[Woof woof]

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Thanks, clifford.

You'’re the best.

I'’ll get started
on that cake.

Great. Can I
lick the bowl?

Jumping in leaves
sure is fun.

Let'’s make it one
of the party games.

Cool!

You have got to be kidding.

No moon bounce?
No pony rides?

Not even a water slide?

And you call that a party?

Puh-leez.

All the stuff
at my birthday

Is gonna be made
by charley and me,
jetta.

Obviously.

You don'’t have to
buy stuff

To have
a great party.

The important thing
is to have fun.

Exactly! And you know
what makes a party fun?

Sparkle, excitement,

Pizzazz!

Pizzazz?

Pizzazz?

You know, something
really special.

I'’m sorry, emily,
but what you'’ve got here

Is just...boring.

Oh, that'’s not true.

We'’re gonna bob for apples,
and we have party hats

And musical instruments.

Uh-huh...well,
I wouldn'’t want to go
to a party like that,

And I don'’t think
anyone else will either.

I'’m sorry.

See you later,
emily elizabeth.

What if she'’s right,
charley?

What if my party
doesn'’t have pizzazz?

Don'’t listen to her,
emily.

This party'’s
going to be great,

And we
made it all ourselves.

You'’re right.

It'’s like you said,

"The important thing
is to have fun."

It'’s also important
to have friends.

So we'’d better deliver
these invitations.

We can ride our bikes.

I know a faster way.

[Sigh] here
comes emily elizabeth

To invite me to
her boring old party.

Oh, well, I have nothing
better to do that day.

Ok, clifford,
next stop
is jetta'’s house.

Why are you going to
invite jetta?

She'’s my friend.

She always comes
to my birthday parties.

But she said herself
she wouldn'’t want to come

"To a boring party
like yours."

She did say she
wouldn'’t want to come,
didn'’t she?

Ok, clifford, we'’ll
skip jetta'’s house.

She'’s...

Not...

Inviting me.

Jetta: hey!
Hold it, you guys!

Charley: it'’s jetta.

She must have seen us
go by her house.

I bet we
hurt her feelings
by not inviting her.

Let'’s invite her now.

Ok, if she wants to come.

Hey, jetta.

Hello, emily elizabeth.

Jetta, I want you--

I hope you aren'’t going to
invite me to your party.

Well, yes, i--

Oh, I'’m so sorry,

But I'’ve got another party
to go to in the city,

An amazingparty
with a water slide
and all kinds of pizzazz.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

So, thanks, but no thanks.

I guess you
don'’t need to worry
about jetta anymore.

She'’s got another party
to go to.

Yeah. I guess so...

But I still wish
she'’d come to ours.

[Children playing]

Happy birthday,
emily.

Thanks, mary.

Hey, emily!
Hi, vaz.

Did you bring the tub
I wanted to borrow
for the apple-bobbing?

Oh, no! I forgot it
on my front porch!

I'’ll go get it.

Ok.

[Slurp]

Wait!

I think clifford
wants to help.

Thanks, clifford.

Hi, mac, what
are you doing here?

I live here, remember?

I just thought
you'’d be in the city

At the big party
with jetta.

Big party?

Uh, jetta'’s
not going to any party.

She'’s not?

Nope. She'’s in the house,
moping around
with nothing to do.

Really?

Hmm...

I'’ll see you later, mac.

All right!

Ha ha ha!

[Woof]

Thank you so much,
clifford.

Now we can bob for apples.

This sure is a great
birthday party, emily.

Yeah.
It looks like everyone
is really having fun.

What is it, clifford?

He wants to
show us something.

I think it'’s time
to re-invite jetta
to the party, charley.

I think you'’re right,
emily.

Hi, jetta.

Oh, uh...
[Clears throat]

Hello, emily elizabeth.

I'’m just, uh,
waiting to be picked up
for my big party.

Gee, jetta, I was hoping
you'’d change your mind

And you could come
to my birthday party.

Oh?

Mm-hmm. Because,
I thought about it,
and you were right.

My party
did need pizzazz,

So I decided to
add a water slide
after all.

You did?

Ohh! A water slide?
Really?

Well, then I
suppose I could cancel
my other plans.

Great.

I'’ve gotta hand it
to you, emily elizabeth.

You and charley
really made this party
into something special.

Thanks, dad.

And the best part is,
you thought of everything
yourselves.

Whee! Woo-hoo hoo!

Woo-hoo hoo!

Oh, oh...

Oh, my goodness.
Ha ha ha!

Wheeeee!

Ha ha!
Oh, your party'’s
really fun!

Thanks, jetta.

Good thing
you took my advice

About adding
a little pizzazz.

It is pretty good advice.

Thank you
for inviting me,
emily elizabeth.

I guess a homemade party
can be lots of fun.

Ok, kids, how about
some birthday cake?

Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!

Charley: make a wish
and blow out
the candles, emily.

Ok.

All: happy birthday, emily!

Mom: whoops.
Missed one.

[Inhaling]

Clifford!

No!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Cool!
Ha ha ha!

How'’s that for pizzazz?

Yeah!
Ha ha ha!

Thanks, clifford.

This is my best party ever.

Grr-rrr!

Grrr-rrr!

Clifford and I know that
playing is a lot more fun

When we share
with our friends.

That'’s why clifford'’s big idea
for today is sharing.

Ugh! It'’s mine!

Ugh! No, it'’s mine!

No, it'’s mine!

It'’s mine!

I say it'’s mine!

Ugh!

Whoa!

What'’s going on, t-bone?

I found this toy first,
but cleo thinks
it belongs to her.

No way! I found it,
and it'’s mine!

Maybe
instead of fighting
over that toy,

We can all
share mine.

Well, ok.

Great!

Here you go, cleo!

Ha ha!

Catch, big guy!

[Woof woof woof]

This is fun!

Yeah!

Yeah!

When friends share with friends,
everyone is happy.

That'’s why clifford'’s big idea
for today is sharing.
