Clifford Follows his Nose

This book tracks Clifford as a puppy going from place to place because he is lost. He is so small that it is hard to spot him. This book would be good for very young kids to try and point out Clifford on each page. Clifford makes a mess everywhere he goes and the people get very angry at home. Even though he causes a lot of trouble, he is always smiling because he doesn't realize he is causing any harm and usually just does it by accident. Clifford ends up in a florists shop and jumps into a box. This is fun because the child might be excited to see where Clifford will end up next. Then, at the end the woman that received the flowers turns out to be Clifford's owner's mom. The two are reunited and very happy to see each other. The story is really basic but easy for a child to comprehend. This book is very short and would be good for children with a very small vocabulary. It is definitely not one that I would be interested in, but i was surprised to see that the boy in my child study was really excited to read it. This shows how different children's perceptions may be from ours and we cannot choose books based on whether we will like them.
