[Laughter]

Woof.

Emily: "in the
shadowy moonlight,

"Peter could just make out
the handwritten sign

"That read, beware,
for no magic can save ye here.

"Then, before he could
take another step,

"There was a sudden--"

Jetta: emily elizabeth!

Hurry, you guys,
or we'’ll be late.

Sorry, clifford.
It'’s time for school.

We'’ll have to wait till tonight
to see what happens next.

Woof, woof, woof.

Hey, guys.

Did you finish
your "peter poundstone:
magician book," emily?

Not yet, clifford and I
are on the last chapter
of book .

I think it'’s
the best one yet.

Me, too.

Woof.

I finished book last week.

You won'’t believe
how in the end,

Peter gets this magical--

All: jetta.

Oww.

What?

Don'’t tell us
the ending.

We want to read it
for ourselves.

I was just helping you out
so you'’d finish in time
for book .

It'’s coming out in days.

I wrote it down in
my peter poundstone calendar.

Did you write it
down with your
peter poundstone magic pen?

Of course not,
then it would be
in disappearing ink.

Wait till you guys
see what I'’ve got.

Alacazip-zap.

Wow, a peter poundstone
magic kit.

Yep, it comes with a cape,
a hat, and best of all...

A magic wand.

Remember when peter
used his magic wand

To make the horrible -headed,
-toed jibberjabber appear?

Uh-huh, this wand
can do all kinds
of magical things.

I'’ll show you some
of my best tricks
after school today.

Great.

This week, we'’re going to do
a special kind of book report.

Teacher: I want you all
to choose
your favorite book

And make what'’s called
a "diorama."

Find a small box like this.

Then, inside the box,
build a scene

That shows something exciting
that happened in your book.

I know exactly what
book I'’m going
to build a scene from.

Peter poundstone:
magician, book .

I appreciate
your enthusiasm,
charley.

Teacher: just remember,
the diorama
is due in days.

And now, for the greatest magic
in the whole wide world!

Clifford: t-bone dogstone
the magician!

Cleo: whoo-hoo!

Go, t-bone.

Show me the magic,
dogstone.

Thank you, thank you.

For my first magic trick,

I will make this
plain, ordinary ball

Roll across the yard.

Alacazippy-zap,
move, ball, move.

Yay, dogstone.

What a talent,
this kid'’s
got the goods.

Let me tell you,
I'’ve never seen
anything like it.

It'’s amazing.

Uh, alacazappy-zip,
come back, ball.

Come back, ball!

[Inhales]

Ta-da!
It'’s magic.

Yay, you'’re
the best magician
on the island, t-bone.

Thank you, thank you,
now, for my second trick--

[Bell rings]

Uh-oh.

Sorry, t-bone,
it'’s time to go get
emily elizabeth.

Let'’s meet at my house
later for more...magic
and mystery.

Alacazip-zap.

You look like a real
magician, charley.

Let'’s see you do
some real magic.

Ok, over there,
I'’ll make that ball move.

Alacazip-zap.

Move, ball, move.

Hey, look over there!

Your wand didn'’t
work on your ball,

But it'’s working
on that one.

Wow, how did you
do that, charley?

I--i--i'’m not sure.

Bet you can'’t
do it again.

Ok, watch this.

Alacazip-zap!

Whoa.

Wow.

Great!

It reminds me
of the end of book

When peter waves
his wand and--

All: jetta!

Please don'’t tell
us how it ends.

Ok, ok.

Hey, maybe I really
can do magic.

It was probably
something more real,

Like a big gust
of wind.

Well, it sure
looked neat.

Yeah, let me
try it again.

Alacazip-zap!

Good ball!

Come to me now.

That'’s enough
practicing, t-bone.

Let'’s get cleo
and find a really
good box.

[Sniffing]

Thanks for helping
me look for a box

For emily elizabeth, guys.

There'’s one
that might work.

[Laughs]
good trick, t.

You made yourself disappear.

[Giggling]

Charley: hey, emily.

Hi, charley.

I was just getting
some stuff
to make my diorama.

You want to work
on yours with me?

Uh, sure, ok.

But wait till
you see how good

I'’m getting to be
with this magic wand.

Watch this,
alacazip-zap!

Charley: make magic appear.

Hey, clifford,
do you see
any boxes over there?

Pretty good, huh?

I made clifford appear
out of nowhere.

I think it might just
be a coincidence,
charley.

Yeah, but it
might be magic.

I just have to keep
working at it until
I know for sure.

What about your
project, charley?

Ah, don'’t worry about that.

I'’ve got it all
right in here.

Where'’s charley?

I thought he was
going to work on
his diorama with us.

Maybe he finished already.

Hmm, I don'’t think so.

Hey, guys.

I'’m really getting
the hang of using
this wand.

Watch!

Alacazip-zap!

Clifford,
lie down.

See? I did it.

I don'’t think that
was magic, charley.

He didn'’t even
lie down, he sat.

You know, I just got
book , and
there'’s this part

Where peter just thinks
he'’s doing magic, but--

Both: jetta!

Well, I'’m not telling
you how it ends.

I just need a little
more practice.

Peter poundstone
was a beginner once,
too, you know.

[Chattering]

There'’s charley.

Where'’s his project?

Charley, where'’s
your diorama?

Don'’t worry, jetta,
I'’m getting really good
at this magic stuff.

I see lots of wonderful
dioramas this morning.

But where is yours, charley?

Ooh, I was hoping
you'’d ask me that.

Alacazip-zap!

Diorama, appear!

Heh heh, I said--heh heh--

Alacazip-zap!

Diorama, appear!

[Murmuring]

I think that'’s
enough, charley.

Why isn'’t it working?

It always works
for peter poundstone.

Peter poundstone isn'’t
a real person, charley.

He'’s a fun character
in a wonderful book.

Teacher: real people
can'’t use magic to do
their work for them.

Real people have
to be responsible

And do the work themselves.

But I can do magic,
ms. Carrington.

I did do magic!

Look, charley!

I think maybe that'’s
where your magic
came from.

So, it was clifford
who was making
the ball move.

I guess I really can'’t
do magic after all,
ms. Carrington.

Ha, no, I guess not,

But you can make up
your homework assignment.

And you can use your
wonderful imagination

To create the best diorama
you can possibly make.

Thanks, ms. Carrington.
I will.

It was nice of ms. Carrington
to let me turn my project
in late.

I'’m going to do an extra
special good job on it.

I just wish I
had a better box
to make it in.

Wow, maybe you
really do have
magic powers.

Wait a minute.

Arf, arf.

[Chuckles] no magic here.

Just a great little dog
named t-bone.

Arf, arf, arf,
arf, arf, arf.

That reminds me
of this part
in book

Where peter poundstone'’s
dog--

All: jetta!

I'’m just kidding.

Peter poundstone
doesn'’t have a dog.

If you really want
to find out what happens,

You'’ll just have to read
the book yourself.

We will.

Ok!

Woof, woof.

Emily elizabeth: clifford!

It'’s story time.

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

Woof, woof.

I thought so,
he'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is "speckle
and the great story."

One afternoon, speckle sat down
in his favorite chair
to read a book.

It was about a brave explorer
in outer space.

The story was so exciting

That speckle
couldn'’t help but imagine
that he was that astronaut

Leading his fearless crew
on a journey through space.

Together with luna and ravi,
speckle floated in space,

Looking down at
our planet earth below.

Then he raced darnell and reba
on space scooters...

And discovered a planet
that no one had ever
discovered before.

Speckle finished
the story and smiled

As he thought about
his great adventure in space.

Then speckle
picked up another book

To begin his next
amazing adventure.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

Woof.

[Laughs]

Ok, mac,
there'’s no wind today,
so, I need your help.

Jetta: ok,
mackie, come!

Come on, boy.

Come on,
mackie-wackie.

Come on.
Come on.

[Groans]

Come on!

Machiavelli!

[Gasps]

Got a tummy yummy.

Woof.

Woof, woof.

[Panting]

Oh...

Well, that didn'’t work.

Hi, jetta.

Oh, hi, emily elizabeth.

Is that your kite for
the kite-flying festival?

Uh-huh.

I can'’t wait.

Clifford and I
made a great,
big kite to fly.

I was trying to
practice, but there'’s
just no wind today.

I thought maybe
if mac ran fast enough,
my kite'’d fly.

Mmm.

But I guess
that'’s one trick

Even my little mackie
can'’t do.

No, but he sure is good
at that leg-thumping trick.

Oh, that'’s not a trick.

That just means
mac is happy.

It does?

Sure, mac loves it
when I scratch him
on his favorite spot.

Don'’t you, mackie-wackie.
[Giggling]

[Whines]

I wonder what
makes clifford happy.

Well, all dogs
love to be scratched,
emily elizabeth.

I scratch clifford
all the time,

But I'’ve never seen him
happy like that.

Maybe you'’ve just never
found his favorite
scratching spot.

Clifford deserves
to be scratched on
his favorite spot, jetta.

Will you help me find it?

Ok.

Maybe it'’s somewhere
around here.

That'’s it, we found it!

Thanks, jetta.

Oh, oh, dear.

Oh, no!

Ooh, ow!

Careful.

Watch out.

Ooh, my!

Whoa!

What'’s going on?

[Chuckles] clifford is
really happy, jetta.

I can tell.

Clifford, stop!

[Laughs]

The whole library
is shaking.

Oh, my gosh!

I'’m sorry.

I was just scratching
clifford.

A good dog like clifford
deserves a good scratch,

But maybe you should find
someplace else to do it.

I guess so,
but where?

Let'’s try the beach,
emily elizabeth.

Maybe the sand will
soften his thumping.

Great idea, vaz.

Woof, woof.

Whoo!

Ha ha!

Ooph!

Oh, are you
ok, charley?

Uh-huh, I was just
trying out my new kite for
the kite-flying festival,

But you can'’t fly a kite
when there'’s no wind.

I hope we get some wind soon,

Or we won'’t be able to have
the kite-flying festival.

What are you
guys doing?

We just came to the beach
to scratch clifford.

Huh?

Like this!

Wow, does his leg
always do that?

Only when I scratch him
on his favorite spot.

It looks like the sand
is making his thumping softer,
emily elizabeth.

It sure is.

Thanks, vaz.

Um, emily elizabeth,
you'’d better look
behind you.

[Gasp] oh, my goodness!

[Talking]

Oops!

Eh...sorry!

Emily elizabeth, I think
your dog is just too big
for this kind of scratching.

That'’s not fair.

Clifford deserves
a good scratch.

Hey, I have an idea.

Clifford can'’t
kick up any sand here
in the water.

We'’ll see.

Ok, clifford,
here we go!

Woof.

There might be no thumping,
and there might be
no sand-spraying,

But I think there'’s going
to be a big splash!

Look!

[Laughter]

All: whoa!

Man: hey!

Eh...i don'’t think
this is going to work
after all, charley.

I told you,
emily elizabeth,

Clifford is just
too big for this
kind of scratching.

Maybe jetta'’s right.

He can'’t thump on land,
he can'’t thump in the water.

Too bad he can'’t try
thumping in the air.

[Laughs]

Jetta, that'’s
a great idea!

It is? I mean,
of course, it is.

All we have to do
is get clifford
to thump in the air.

Hmm?

Huh?

Huh?

Come on, let'’s
go to my house,

And I'’ll show
you what I mean.

We'’ve been looking
at this whole thing
upside-down.

All we have
to do is put
clifford on his back,

And his leg
won'’t be thumping
anything but air.

Let'’s try it,
clifford.

Roll over.

Woof.

It'’s easier scratching
him this way, too.

There goes his leg.

And no thumping.

Batten down the hatches,
violet, it'’s a hurricane.

Oh, no, horace,
it'’s just clifford.

Clifford looks really happy,
emily elizabeth.

He sure does.

What an amazing
idea I had.

Mrs. Bleakman: excuse me,
emily elizabeth?

Clifford is causing
quite a little bit
of wind over here.

More like a big,
red hurricane.

The plums are
flying off my trees.

Oh, no, we'’re sorry.

We'’ll stop right away.

Oh, thank you.

I guess your idea
wasn'’t such a good one
after all, emily elizabeth.

Sure it was.

You just have to
face clifford away from
the bleakman'’s yard, emily.

Good thinking,
charley.

Ok, boy, here comes
a good scratching.

Wow!

Ha ha!

Hey, my kite,
it'’s flying!

Wow, that'’s just
the kind of wind we need

For the kite-flying
festival on saturday.

Yeah, we could fly our kites,
and clifford could
get a good scratching,

All at the same time.

Great!

Good boy, clifford.

Woof.

[Children talking]

Thanks for helping me
with the scratching,
ms. Lee.

Well, clifford always
makes everyone else happy,

It'’s nice for us
to be able to make him
happy in return.

That'’s right,
emily elizabeth.

Everyone loves clifford.

Hooray for clifford!

Woof.

Drat, i, the great
fluffy face, bad guy
of all bad guys,

Have been captured
at last.

That'’s right, fluffy face!

Good has triumphed over bad!

Emily: sometimes,
right in the middle
of a really fun game,

A new friend comes along,

And it can be hard to stop
and let them join in.

No jungle gym can hold
the great fluffy face!

Emily: but no one
likes to feel left out.

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

Ha ha ha!

Watch it!

[Gasp]

Whoa!

Look out!

Are you guys ok?

Sure, we just stopped
to see if you wanted
to play with us.

Really?

Let'’s go!

Emily: it'’s nice
to think about
the feelings of others.

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