Clifford The Big Red Dog - By Norman Bridwell

This book is good for teaching young children how to take care of a dog.  The only problem I found with the story is that at one point, the character Emily says, "I don't care", which isn't the type of phrase you generally want children picking up on.  The illustrations are cute and colorful and add to the humor of the story.  Because Clifford is such a very big dog, the doghouse is larger than his owner's home!
