A video interview with Norman Bridwell Biography When Norman Bridwell first visited children's publishing houses in 1962, one drawing in his portfolio was of a little girl and a big red dog. Little did Bridwell know, this idea would evolve into a global phenomenon, helping him to sell over 44 million books. Bridwell claims that "luck has a lot to do with it," but without his adorable illustrations, playful humor, and childlike imagination, Clifford would not have become one of the world's most beloved dogs. Children love to see what Clifford the Big Red Dog will do next, whether it's putting out a fire, joining the circus, or just doing tricks. Growing up in Kokomo, Indiana, Norman Bridwell was always drawing. After high school, Bridwell wanted to turn his love of drawing into a career. Bridwell visited about fifteen publishing houses, but there were no assignments to be had, and even worse, seemingly little hope for any in the future. All-Around Dog Now all he needed were names for his characters. "He's Red and He's Warm"
