Bookroo's summary

Emily Elizabeth faces her first day of kindergarten with nerves and excitement. Allowed to bring something from home for comfort, she surprises everyone by bringing Clifford, her enormous red dog. As Clifford joins in the classroom fun, Emily Elizabeth discovers that with a friend by her side, making new friends and enjoying school is easier than she thought. Will Clifford's presence help her overcome her fears and embrace the adventure of kindergarten?

From the publisher

Join Clifford in this brand-new storybook as he spends the day with Emily Elizabeth in kindergarten! Emily Elizabeth is starting Kindergarten and she’s a little nervous. Good thing that the teacher sent a note home that says each child can bring something from home to make the transition a little easier. But the teacher didn’t bet on a child bringing something–or someone–as big as Clifford!
