Turns out they didn't think their presents were good enough so they didn't want go. When nobody shows up Emma goes to find out why. But 3 stars because my toddler was obsessed with this book for 5 months straight!Ĭlifford has a birthday and all of his friends are invited. I'm teaching my son to value people over gifts.This book sends the opposite message to me. Third rude thing is that EE didn't like one of the gifts, so she gives it to someone else, right there at the party! I clearly seem over-opinionated about a children's book, but Amazon asked me to write a review, so here it is, haha. But the rude part is EE's response.rather than saying something like, "it's ok you don't need to bring gifts, he just wants his friends there" she says something like, "Clifford will like whatever gifts you've got," as if gifts are the condition for them coming and all he cares about. Huh? Second, EE asks why they say they didn't think Clifford would like their gifts. I am a parent trying to teach my toddler about kindness and giving and manners, and this book surprised me in a bad way in how it seems to be teaching rudeness.three times! First, the friends just unanimously didn't show up for the party and all went to the park instead. Bad lesson to teach kids, but entertaining for my toddler!
