Claude in the Country

Brilliant... much-loved... extraordinary. Great for sharing and with a highly lovable character. This lively read will get both children and adults chuckling.

There is no relenting in the quality of this series. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about the Claude series, nothing.

Quirky illustrations and a truly endearing central character make this a winner for both children and parents.

I loved everything about this book.

Innovative illustrations... Claude's surreal adventures are both amusing and fun to read, having great appeal for newly confident readers.

Cleverly mixing the everyday and the surreal.

A treat for new readers.

Highly lovable... Claude is a rather extraordinary little dog who appeals to this age range immensely.

Quintessentially British humour from writer/illustrator Smith... whimsical and charming.

Children and adults will love Claude's exploration of the countryside... a hilarious addition to this stylish series. Claude really is the cream of the crop for younger readers.

Delightfully witty... beautifully-judged text with enormously appealing illustrations.

Another Claude book - wonderful! Excellent for newly confident young readers... beautifully produced too.

Thank goodness Alex T Smith is doing such a grand job of continuing to feed my Claude habit. I do like to steal the Claude stories away from my daughter and curl up to read them myself as they always cheer me up. Smith has great style in his artwork, and a real sense of fun, and he matches it perfectly with the cleverly crafted stories. * * * * *

A wonderful creation for newly independent readers.

An out-and-out winner this.

Comic talent not just for writing a good story but also illustrating it in a fitting but hilarious style.

A wonderful creation for newly independent readers.

A lively read, with images in a stylish retro palette of black, white and red.
