Norman Bridwell. Cartwheel Books, $10.99 (10pp) ISBN 978-0-439-33242-2
Norman Bridwell's Big Red Dog features in a pair of titles. Clifford and Emily Elizabeth teach letters and counting alongside memory and matching games in Clifford's Neighborhood: Lots to Learn Around Town, illus. by Carolyn Bracken and Ken Edwards. The oversize board book, shaped like a doghouse, contains over 80 flaps to lift. Clifford I Love You Pop-Up (first published in 1994) reappears as part of Reading Is Fundamental's 35th anniversary. Bridwell's rhymed couplets and oversize pop-ups of the giant pooch show him enjoying an array of affections with his human friends (""When you're happy, Love is sharing. When you're sad, Love is caring""). (Feb)
