Characters face very low-stakes, comical problems, like getting stuck. Always resolved quickly.

The main underlying theme is dealing with being different, which is metaphorically represented by Clifford's size. The approach is consistently positive and affirming. It shows how Clifford's uniqueness is a source of strength and joy, and how true friends love you for who you are. The resolution is always hopeful, and the content is entirely secular.
