The adventures of a larger-than-life red dog on Bridwell Island.
T-Bone gets a new sweater but learns that “Clothes Don't Make the Dog”; Emily thinks Clifford is neglecting her.
T-Bone eats Cleo's new dog food then lies about it; Charley and Emily have an ice-cream party when Charley's father is away.
In a heartwarming flashback story, we learn how Clifford's enormous size frightened T-bone when they met for the first time. T-bone learns that "you can't judge a book by it's cover" – and friends come in all shapes and sizes.
Mr. Bleakman is ready for a quiet relaxing weekend of oil painting. But a monkey wrench is thrown in the works when he is asked to babysit Clifford for the day. Mr. Bleakman struggles to find a way to keep Clifford out of his way, but soon discovers that the big, red dog has much to teach him about being spontaneous and having fun!
Everyone gets to put their hand prints in the cement, but Clifford's is just too big.
While her house is being painted, Cleo stays with Clifford---and takes over; the dogs try to get grumpy Mr. Bleakman to brighten up, and find that their good deeds make them feel good, too.
