- Reading
- Pause at the animal encounters and invite your child to predict what might happen next. Afterwards, compare their guesses with how Clifford’s trip unfolds.
- Themes
- Curiosity and mishaps: Clifford tries a dinosaur bone and causes a crash; he also investigates a pool and encounters a squid. The incidents are presented as scrapes, but their consequences and the story’s judgement of Clifford’s actions are not established.
- Helping an animal: Clifford helps a baby whale return to the ocean. The overview frames this as Clifford saving the day, supporting a positive reading of helping the whale.
- Worth knowing
- Mishaps include Clifford trying a dinosaur bone, followed by a crash, and meeting a squid at close quarters.
