CLIFFORD'S VALENTINESby Norman Bridwell
3.62 avg rating — 81 ratings
It's Clifford. And it's Valentines. And it's from Scholastic. What more do you need to know :)
Simple short sentences will be good practice for young Clifford lovers. Here's a sample of text from the first two pages:
It is Valentine's Day.
Clifford gets a card.
It is from a boy.
The story is essentially
about the cards that Clifford receives. And what Clifford will do in
return to show his friends how he feels about them. The most difficult
words are Valentine's, Clifford, carrier, and everyone.
