About Clifford the Big Red Dog (Character) Photos

Clifford the Big Red Dog is the title character and the main protagonist of the Clifford the Big Red Dog book series, written by Norman Bridwell and originally published in 1963, and the television series of the same name, which is based upon the book series and ran from 2000 to 2003 on PBS Kids.He is one of the world's most renowned storybook characters and the official mascot of Scholastic. His size is inconsistent: While he is often shown being about 25 feet (7.5 m) tall from paws to head, Clifford can appear far larger. The character's name is based on the imaginary childhood friend of creator Norman Bridwell's wife. Bridwell originally wanted to name the dog "Tiny", but his wife persuaded him that "Clifford" was better. Clifford's pet owner is Emily Elizabeth, and Clifford has a mother, two brothers, and two sisters. Clifford's character was created when a Harper & Row editor advised Bridwell to write a story to go along with one of his pictures. Bridwell recalls she picked out his sketch of a baby girl with a horse-sized bloodhound, and casually said, "There might be a story in this" because there always was one. Clifford has been voiced by Brent Titcomb, John Ritter, Lara Jill Miller (as a puppy) and Adam Sanders.
