What Parents Need to Know

About Clifford's Puppy Days

Parents need to know that this sweet, fun cartoon for preschoolers doesn't have any content to be concerned about. It has the same admirable qualities of the Clifford books and TV series -- a cast of lovable characters who base their actions on positive guidelines about being good citizens -- and sets good examples of pet ownership, kindness, self-confidence, and much more.

    Simply Adorable!

    This is a darling show for preschoolers. The animal characters are all terrific and lovable, as on Clifford The Big Red Dog. The show helps reinforce the things most parents are teaching children that age. It promotes good social behavior and kindness to others. The theme song is great too! My kids love it when that song comes on.
