Text 9 W: A big dog celebrates a big birthday this year. Clifford the Big Red Dog, first appeared 50 years ago along with Emily Elizabeth, a little girl who loves him. Today we have Norman Bridwell to talk with NBR's Reporter on his dog's 50th birthday. So, Norman, tell us how it all started. M: Well, it was 1962, and I was a struggling, not very successful artist in New York. My wife suggested that I try my hand in painting for children's books. So I did ten paintings and took them to publishers. I was turned down everywhere except one publisher where a young woman told me I wasn't very good. So if I want to paint for a book, I need to write one on my own. W: So you did? M: Oh, the woman pointed to a painting I had done﹣a little girl with a big red dog, and she said maybe that is a story, and I went home and over that weekend I wrote the story﹣Clifford the Big Red Dog, and I was shocked it was accepted for publication, because I never wrote anything before. W: I see. How wonderful! M: Yes, it was. My wife was also in shock when she did realize it wasn't a dream, but it was just luck. W: But that luck turned into 90 Clifford books. And it sold 126 million copies in thirteen languages.
