In the 80s, Nelvana picked up the rights to the series and spun off six half-hour direct to video specials with it. He was way too big for the Howards to properly take care of Clifford in the city at this point, so they moved to the country (Birdwell Island in the TV adaptation) where he could have more room to move around. Well, not quite - he stopped growing once he was about twenty-five feet high, although his height isn't set in stone it varies, depending on the story. Clifford originally started out as the runt of the litter, but Emily Elizabeth's love made him grow-and grow, and grow, and grow, ad infinitum. The books, which were written by Norman Bridwell, star the adventures of the eponymous Clifford, a giant of a dog, and his owner, Emily Elizabeth Howard. Since then, many, many more books have been published, as well as more than one animated adaptation. If you're from North America, you've most probably heard of this series of picture books, although you probably didn't know that the first book was originally published in 1963.
