Clifford has a loose tooth, which you'd think would have come out when he was still a puppy instead of the giant he now is. He and his friends imagine ways to help it come out right away, but Clifford is anxious and decides to wait it out. It might work for some kids worried about their own loose teeth, but it is pretty bland otherwise.

I did think the ending was odd, as Clifford's owners usually don't exploit his size for profit in the way shown.

The title page says the story is adapted, but I cannot find an episode of the animated show that matches it. Publicity text for the book says the story is original, so I guess the adapted reference is an error. ( )
