Description
Meet Claude. He's no ordinary dog—he leads an extraordinary life! Each day when his owners leave for work, Claude decides what adventure he will have. What will happen today?
Claude and his best friend, Sir Bobblysock, go to the Snowy Mountains to swish down the powdery slopes. When their winter wonderland threatens to avalanche, Claude must come to the rescue.
Advance Praise
“With quirky illustrations and goofy humor, Claude's adventures will be catnip to 7- to 11-year-olds who like to laugh.” ―The Wall Street Journal
“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...” ―Publishers Weekly
“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.” ―Kirkus
“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.” ―Booklist
“With an amiable voice and a 1960's retro style with a French-flaired color palette starring black, white, and red, Alex T. Smith creates two charming and quirky friends who are fresh, fun, and resourceful.” ―Parents' Choice
“The first book in an adorable new series will have young readers in stitches.” ―Children's Book Council online
“The book is perfect for Humpty Dumpty-age children, whether they're reading on their own or still prefer to hear stories read. It's a perfect mix of adventure and imagination that will keep them asking to read it again and again!” ―U.S. Kids Parents and Teachers Magazine
