Norman Bridwell has written over 120 books on children's favorite
"Clifford the Big Red Dog". He continues to write an average of 2 books

ordinary, a critic suggested he write a story to go along with them to
help to sell the illustrations. He wrote a story and submitted it to a
publishing company. Three weeks later, the publisher called and said
they wanted to publish his work. Over 40 years later, Clifford "the Big
Red Dog" continues to "grow" with more books, television shows and
movies! Over 44 million copies of his books are published in many
