Clifford the Big Red Dog

T-Bone finds himself in a contest with Mac. He doesn’t win, but he does his best. T-Bone learns that you don’t have to win to feel good you just have to do your very best. The dogs convince themselves that its okay to keep eating treats as long as they’ve done something “special” to deserve them. All three learn that too much of a good thing can be bad.

There is a new dog in town and he has only three legs. Clifford, Cleo and T-Bone really like K.C., but they feel uncomfortable and unsure of how to act and what to do. One minute Clifford is totally overcompensating for K.C. and the next Cleo is fretting that his “difference” might be contagious! Ultimately, the dogs happily learn that differently-abled persons want to be friends, just like everyone, that they do not want people to feel sorry for them, that whatever is different about them is not contagious, and that they are able to do lots of things without anyone’s help, they may just do things a little differently. K.C. becomes a good friend! Clifford’s talent for digging seems to be disruptive to everyone in town. But when a big storm comes in, his deficit becomes an asset. Clifford learns that there’s an appropriate time and place for talents to be expressed.

The dogs go to school for the first time and T-Bone worries that he won't be able to keep up with the rest of the class. He works hard and pays close attention to the teacher's directions, and in the end his efforts are rewarded as are the efforts of every member of the class as each is praised for his/her unique qualities. The library sponsors an essay contest for "Islander of the Year" and the children all submit their ideas. But somehow, as they tell their tales, Clifford keeps turning up and is ultimately chosen as the winner! The kids learn that sometimes a real hero is the one you least expect.

Be a good friend Mac starts a club and tries to exclude T-Bone. When Cleo and Clifford refuse to join without T-Bone, Mac gets lonely being the only member of such an "exclusive" club. Mac soon realizes that it’s not fun to be left out and he opens the club to everyone. It’s a beautiful day at the park, the birds are singing, the sun is shining, and the dogs are playing—much to Mr. Bleakman’s annoyance! Mr. Bleakman manages to make the park “off limits” to dogs only to discover that he misses them when they’re gone.

Clifford and Cleo misunderstand a conversation they overhear, and think T-Bone is moving away. They vow to make T-Bone’s last day on Birdwell Island extra special. They eventually learn to listen to a whole story before jumping to conclusions—but the good friends enjoy a truly special day nonetheless! When two cats “move in” to the tree next door to T-Bone, the dogs try everything to get rid of them, but they soon discover that they have no real reason not to like the cats. The dogs learn that, just because individuals are different, it doesn't mean they can't be friends.

All of the dogs are so excited that their old friend K.C. is back on the island for a couple of days. Cleo, however, is particularly excited and focuses all of her attention on him at the expense of T-Bone and Clifford. She discovers that being a good friend means you should be kind and considerate to all your friends and not take any of them for granted. Mac is particularly disappointed when rainy weather threatens to ruin the upcoming Back-to-School Barbecue held every year at Jetta’s house. The other dogs, seeing his disappointment, vow to find a way to stop the rain from falling. It doesn’t take long for them to realize that you can’t change the weather. But Mac’s disappointment is replaced with delight that his friends would go to such lengths to try and help him.
