Synopsis

Claude is no ordinary dog - he leads an extraordinary life!
Claude and his best friend, Sir Bobblysock (who is both a sock and very bobbly), go to the City for the very first time. They go shopping, visit a museum, foil a robbery, and heal an entire hospital waiting room full of patients. All in all, a most satisfactory day for this delightful duo.
Quirky, delightfully odd, and positively surreal, Alex T. Smith's illustrated early chapter book series promises giggle-filled bedtime reading and a laugh-out-loud option for readers transitioning from picture books to chapter books.

About this title

Review:

"The tiny trim size and duo-tone artwork, all shades of black, grey, red, and pink, give this UK import a distinctly retro feel, and Claude-mostly head and snout-is an amiable, unintentional hero... It's cool and hipfeeling and, at times, quite funny. Kids who dig quirky Claude will await his next adventures."

"With quirky illustrations and goofy humor, Claude's adventures will be catnip to 7- to 11-year-olds who like to laugh."

"Claude and his sidekick, a sock named Sir Bobblysock, prove to be foundations of good cheer and sweet humor...There's much to love in this resurrection of the cheerful city chronicle of the '60s..."

"While there are no comics or superheroes, some of the wordplay (the doctor's name is Ivan Achinbum) as well as the display of underwear (both men's and women's) in numerous illustrations may remind readers of the perennially popular Captain Underpants series."

Book Description:

Come one, come all for this extraordinary fiction debut for both Alex T Smith and his unforgettable hero, Claude.
