I liked all the pictures, there are lots of them and they are colourful and funny. I would give this book ten out of ten. I am reading some of the other Claude books now too.Lloyd 8, Wells Bookworms - Wells Journal
Claude and Sir Bobblysock go on an adventure! This is a really cute, funny book perfect for young readers. Or not so young as it amused me and I did rather fall for the story of Claude and the quirky illustrations!
My little boy is nearly 6 and he and his little sister loved this book. When he's a bit older he'll be able to read it himself so hopefully this is a funny little tale that'll be in our house for years...
