Small Packages

At the Dog Run, Clifford can't wait to play with Jorge and the other dogs. But as they play, Clifford is constantly reminded of how small he is. When a ball lands on top of a bush, he needs Daffodil's help to get it down. When he can't make it over an obstacle course fence, Norville flies down to give him a boost. When Mrs. Z hands out biscuits, Clifford is crowded out, and only gets a biscuit because Jorge saves him one. Clifford is just fed up with being small. But his friends remind him that they, too, have their own idiosyncrasies to deal with -- Jorge has an extra- long body, Norville has all those feathers, and Daffodil has her floppy ears. But, Clifford says, all those things are what make them what they are. And they point out that there are great things about being small, too, and that's what makes Clifford the special puppy that he is.
