[Laughter]

Woof!

[Gasps]

Whoa.

That dog
is gigantic!

He'’s almost as
big as clifford.

Excuse me.

Whoa!

That dog is me.

That'’s you
in the picture?

Uh-huh.
My name'’s frankie.

My human owns
this new shoe store.

It'’s nice to meet you,
frankie.

I'’m cleo,

And this is t-bone.

Wow! You look so small.

I am small.

It'’s the picture
that got big.

It'’s impossible
for a dog to be
that big.

Woof! Woof!

Of course,
I could be wrong.

Hey, do you guys know

Who the enormous dog
in this picture is?

Hee hee hee. Uh-huh.

Do you know
where he is?

[Laughs] uh-huh.

He'’s right here.

Arf! Arf! Arf!

Ha ha ha!

Clifford,
meet frankie.

Frankie,
meet clifford.

Wow.

You'’re big.

Wow.

You'’re small.

You'’re really big.

And you'’re
really small.

Now that we'’ve
got that settled,

Wanna play
hide-and-seek
with us?

Sounds like fun.

Let'’s play
at the park.

Great. Hop on.

Uhh!

Whoa!

Uhh!

Thanks.

Whoo-hoo!
Ha ha!
Aha!

Wow.

I'’ve never seen things
from this high up before.

Clifford, you'’re
the luckiest dog
in the world.

Cleo: ok, guys.

Since I'’m the best finder,

I'’m gonna count to
while you guys go hide.

All right.
Ok.

, , , ...

, , , , , !

Ready or not, here I come!

Hooray for me!

It'’s clifford I see!

How did you find me
so fast, cleo?

It'’s a gift.

Hooray for me!

Now it'’s t-bone I see!

[Gulp]

This sure was
a yummy place to hide.

I can'’t believe
you haven'’t found
frankie yet, cleo.

Yeah, this is
the longest it'’s taken you

To find anyone.

Hey, this is his first time
playing with me.

I don'’t want to find him
too fast,

Or I might scare him away
with my brilliance.

Frankie:
heh heh heh heh.

Hey.

Where is he?

I found him,
cleo.

A dog your size
can do everything, clifford.

Whoo-hoo!

You'’re good
at hiding.

Thanks,

But clifford sure is good
at seeking.

Heh. Please.

I could'’ve found you.

I was just, um, uh,

Weak from thirst.

Let'’s go
get some water.

Uhh!

Ah!

Unh!

Unh!

Uhh!

Let me help you,
frankie.

Whoa!

Oops. Sorry.

Are you ok?

Yeah, I'’m ok,

But that wouldn'’t
have happened to me

If I were big
like you, clifford.

I hope frankie
can play with us
again today.

I wanna play tag
this morning.

Let'’s see if he'’s here.

[Both bark]

[All bark]

What took you so long?
Didn'’t you hear us?

I didn'’t hear you guys,

But I sure
heard clifford.

Uh,

Did you grow last night,
frankie?

You noticed, huh?

I'’m much bigger

Than
I was yesterday,

Thanks
to my big shoes.

Those are great,
frankie,

But why do you want
to be bigger?

I want to be like you.

You can run so fast
and reach so high.

You want to be like me?

Come on. Let'’s go
play some tag.

I should be able
to run really fast

Now that my legs
are longer.

[Struggles]

Maybe my big shoes weren'’t
such a great idea after all.

Whoa! Whoa-oh-oh!

I just wish
there was some way
I could be bigger.

I think I might
know a way.

What is it,
t-bone?

Well, sheriff lewis
just bought me this
new dog food,

And the commercial says
it helps us grow big
and strong.

There'’s a whole bag
of it in my garage.

I know that dog food.

The commercial says it helps
build dogs'’ bodies ways.

That sounds perfect!

Can I try some,
t-bone?

Sure.

Well, come on then.

Let'’s go help frankie
grow big and strong.

Can you see
the dog food,
t-bone?

It'’s right over there
in the corner.

T-bone, are you sure
it'’s ok if we take some?

Well, sheriff lewis
wants me to grow strong.

I'’m sure he'’d want
frankie to grow, too.

So, what are we
waiting for?

Let'’s go get some.

Uhh!

Oh, I can'’t get in.

And I can'’t lift it.

Uhhhh!

Whoa!

I'’m sorry, frankie.

I guess we can'’t get in.

I think
I could get in.

Yeah?

Why don'’t you try?

He did it!

All right!
Yeah!

Yay, frankie!
Way to go!
Good job!

Wow, he'’s eaten
almost the whole bag!

If he does this
every day,

He'’ll be bigger
in no time at all.

Here he comes!

Uhh.

[Burps]

Excuse me.

Wow.

He isbigger!

Heh heh. Do you feel
any bigger, frankie?

Yeah, I feel bigger...

In my tummy,

But I don'’t think
that'’s gonna make me
run any faster,

Or reach any higher.

I'’m so full. Uhh.

I can hardly move.

I guess I'’m never
gonna be like you,
clifford.

Why do you want
to be like me,
frankie?

Because you can
do everything better
than I can.

No, I can'’t.

You can run faster
than I can.

But you can hide
better than I can.

You can drink
from your water dish.

But you can swim in it.

And you
could go through
t-bone'’s window

When none
of the rest
of us could.

And you can fit
into a shoe!

Yeah. Maybe you'’re
not as big as I am,

But I think you'’re
just the right size
for you.

Yeah. I guess I am
just the right size

For me.

So, come on.

Let'’s go
to the library
and play tag.

No, thanks.

Why not?

I'’m a little too big
for that right now.

[All laughing]

Emily elizabeth:
clifford.

It'’s story time.

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

Woof! Woof!

[Laughs] I thought so.

He'’s your favorite.

Today'’s story is "speckle
and the hiding place."

One sunny afternoon,

Speckle and his friends
were playing hide-and-seek,

And it was reba'’s turn
to be it.

While reba counted to ,

Luna, ravi,
darnell, and speckle
scattered off to hide.

Yeah.

Once she finished counting,

It was time
to find everyone.

First, she found darnell

Cleverly hiding behind
a fun-shaped bush.

Then she found
ravi and luna

Hidden in a flower patch.

But where was speckle?

Reba looked and looked,

But she couldn'’t find him.

Then, reba heard speckle
calling to her.

Looking up, she saw
that he was in the tree,

Where he'’d been
the whole time.

Laughing with her friends,

Reba declared that speckle

Had found the best
hiding place of all.

The end.

That was a great story.

Isn'’t reading fun?

Woof!

Heh heh.

I'’m gonna get you, clifford!

Freeze!

Nobody escapes
the freeze-tag
champion.

You can'’t catch me.

Ha ha ha!
Oh, yes, I can.

[Chuckles]

Ha ha ha.

Unfreeze.

Thanks for
unfreezing me, t.

You'’re welcome.

Freeze again!

I am the queen
of freeze-tag.

Oh, yeah.

Uh-huh. I'’m good.

Uh, can we
unfreeze now, cleo?

Oh, yeah. Unfreeze.

It took you a while
to get us that time, cleo.

Ah, I could'’ve won
a long time ago.

I was just
taking it easy on you.

I don'’t know.

T-bone and I make
a pretty good team.

We do now,

But I remember when we first
started playing together.

What happened?

When I first moved here,
t-bone was a little
afraid of me

Because I was so big.

Then I got to know him,

And I found out
what a nice guy he is.

So, where'’s the problem?

Well, we knew
we wanted to be friends
and play together,

But we weren'’t sure how.

I remember one morning,

Clifford came over
to play with me.

[Sighs]

Ahh, what a beautiful day.

Hey, where'’d the sun go?

Whoa-oh-oh!

Woof! Woof!

Hello, there.

Are you here to play
with t-bone?

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!

Arf! Arf!

Go on, you two.

Have fun.

Want to go smell
the cookies baking
at the bakery?

Or we could
go to the beach
and dig some holes.

T-bone?

Sorry about that.

I'’ll slow down a little.

[Sighs]

Thanks.
That'’d be great.

So, you wanna go to the park
and play some fetch?

That sounds like fun...

And I know a shortcut.

Uhh!

Unh!

Oof!

Whoa-oh-oh-oh!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Did you want to play
hide-and-seek instead?

Uh-uh.
Let'’s play fetch.

Great. Let'’s go.

Whoa!

[Laughs] uh, sorry.

Arf! Arf! Arf!

We need to find
just the right stick
for a game of fetch.

Right.

Found one.

Great.

What do you think?

Wow!

It'’s big!

Throw it!

Throw it far!

I love it when
it goes far.

Ok.

Uh,

I think that'’s
a little too far.

[Laughs] yeah.

Hey. How about
I throw one for you?

Ok.

Want me to throw it again?

Ok.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Want me to throw it again?

Uh, no. That'’s ok.

You want to go play
in the water?

Ok.

Last one in is
a crabby-crab!

I love playin'’
in the ocean.

Ah ha ha ha ha!
That'’s great!

Come on out, t-bone!

Uh, ok.

S-sorry, clifford.

This is as far as I can go.

Gosh, this isn'’t
very deep, is it?

It is for me.

I see what you mean.

Wanna do
something else?

Well, it'’s gettin'’
kind of late.

I have to go pick up
emily elizabeth
from school.

But maybe we can
play again tomorrow.

Sure.

Ok. See you, t-bone.

See you.

Hey.

Careful, t-bone.

I'’ve just been groomed.

Sorry, mac.

I saw you with
that new dog clifford.

Isn'’t he a little big?

Uh-huh,

And he'’s really nice.

How can you guys
play together?

It is kind of hard,

But we'’ll work it out.

But you'’re so--so--

Different.

I know,

But that'’s part
of the fun.

[Sighs] whatever.

I'’ve gotta go, t-bone.

I'’ve got a dog show
tomorrow.

I'’m going for
best tail in show.

Mac'’s right.

Clifford and I
aredifferent.

So, maybe we just need
to find a different way
to play!

Heh heh heh.

Oops.

Sorry about that,
t-bone.

I didn'’t see you.

That'’s ok.

Do you still want
to play today?

Sure.

Do you?

Uh-huh!

But maybe we can think
of some different ways

To play together.

Great. Let'’s go.

Wanna play fetch again?

Well, it didn'’t work out
so well yesterday.

Maybe we could play it
differently.

Ok!

Go ahead and throw it,

And throw it far.

I love it
when it goes far.

Right.

Both: let'’s go fetch!

There it is!

Get it, t-bone.

We did it.

We played fetch!

That was fun.

Let'’s do it again!

We could,

Or we could go play
in the ocean now.

Ok.

But we don'’t have to be
so far apart today, do we?

Uh-uh. I have an idea.

Ha ha! This is great!

I'’m captain t-bone

Of the u.s.s. Clifford.

Where to,
captain t-bone?

Let'’s take a trip
around birdwell island,

Home of the famous
big red dog.

We had so much fun
that day.

Uh-huh.

It took some experimenting,

But we finally found
some great ways
to play together.

What a good story.

It'’d make a great book.

Well,
hello, everyone.

I'’m glad
you'’re all here.

I found something
in the garage

That I think
you'’re gonna like.

Here you go.

I'’m sure the three of you
will find a way

To have some fun
with this together.

[All bark]

All aboard
the birdwell island express!

[All laugh]

Whoo-hoo!all right!

I got it!

Aww.
Aww.

Emily elizabeth:
clifford and his friends
love to play games,

And everyone
likes to be the star.

But sometimes, it'’s better
to work together

Than to try
and win the game alone.

All: I got it!

Uh, guys?

I think we'’re doing
something wrong here.

Maybe we should try
working together.

Good idea, clifford.

It'’s worth a try.

Ok, then.
Let'’s do it.

All: yes!

Emily elizabeth:
working together as a team

Makes playing more fun
for everyone.

That'’s why clifford'’s
big idea for today

Is "work together."
