My daughter was a toddler shortly after the Clifford animated series debuted on PBS so we've accumulated a lot of books tied into that show. This one has Alison Inches and Robbin Cuddy making a reader out of "An Itchy Patch" (Season 1, Episode 7, September 12, 2000, original television script by Anne-Marie Perrotta and Tean Schultz).
Clifford has an itch, but he'd rather keep trying various ways to scratch it than go to the veterinarian to see what's causing it. It's a dull but decent story addressing anxiety about visiting the doctor.

The Big Itch is a great picture book that teaches about cause and effect. In the story Cliford, the lead character, is experiencing the itch of a lifetime. He wanders all over the town in search of something that will alleviate this itch of his, but nothing works. When he returns home Emily Elizabeth's dad suggests taking him to the vet if he wasn't able to stop itching. Eventually they had to take Clifford to the vet after he ran into the ocean. Clifford was taken to the vet and this really shows the cause-effect.
