Lovable canine Clifford the Big Red Dog stars in this autumn-themed compilation of four episodes from the popular PBS Kids series based on the children's books by Norman Bridwell. Featuring the talented voice cast of Edie McClurg, Kel Mitchell, Tom Bosley, and John Ritter as Clifford, the tape leads off with "Boo!," in which a mischievous Clifford accidentally frightens the community. In "Clifford's Carnival," Clifford helps his owner Emily Elizabeth set up a school carnival and comes to the rescue when hayride plans fall through (earning a sweet reward); in "Leaf of Absence," Clifford breaks a promise to buddy T-Bone about watching his pile of leaves; and "Come Back, Mac" finds dog pal Mac scared to come home to his bossy owner Jenna after he unintentionally ruins her sweater. Each entertaining episode provides early guidance lessons for young viewers on pitching in, honoring promises, and owning up to mistakes. Although somewhat misleadingly titled, this is still recommended. Aud: K, E, P. (J. Williams)
