In this classic story, Clifford the Big Red Dog is accidentally left home while his family goes on vacation. Instead of staying sad, Clifford uses his giant size and even bigger heart to track them down. Along the way, he navigates traffic, wet cement, and tricky bridges to find his people in the mountains. This story reinforces the powerful message that the bond of love is unbreakable and that our loved ones always want to be reunited with us. It is a gentle, humorous way to turn separation anxiety into a triumphant adventure.
