Claude in the Country

A wonderful creation for newly independent readers.

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

A treat for new readers.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I loved everything about this book.

Cleverly mixing the everyday and the surreal.

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.

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

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

An out-and-out winner this.

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