Clifford is a popular dog. He has been delighting young readers for decades. His story, begun in 1963 by Norman Bridwell, has continued over many years.

Clifford is taller than a two-story house and redder than a fire engine. His owner is Emily Elizabeth. Children feel an attachment to Clifford because he is very big and kind. He tries to be helpful, but he sometimes makes mistakes.

Based on the story these wooden nesting blocks are marked with the letters of the alphabet and numbers from one to ten. The blocks help preschoolers learn letter and number order.

The blocks are easy to nest. The ten blocks stack almost three feet high. They are easily cleaned with a damp cloth. This is a great gift for children over the age of three combined, especially when combined with the book.
