Emily Elizabeth wants to take Clifford along on her hot-air balloon ride, but he's just too big. But thanks to a little hiccup in the flight, things work out in the end for everyone.

Hey! A phonics story that actually works as a story. Nice!

The characters from the 2000-2003 Clifford animated show on PBS take a class field trip to an apple farm, where they have a hayride and pick apples with some help from a tagalong Clifford, in straightforward and generic episode that leaves little impression.

My daughter was quick to point out that -- despite the title -- no pumpkins are actually picked in the course of the story. So maybe it should be called "Picking Apples. . . . ~long pause~ . . . And Pumpkins!"
