The first picture book starring the delightful canine Claude, following the much-loved fiction series. Perfect for Claude’s youngest fans.
Meet Claude – the extraordinary dog with an extraordinary life! Whether he’s soaking up café culture in the city or taking some time out on the beach, wherever he goes, all sorts of wacky adventures befall him.
Are you ready for a rollicking seafaring adventure? In true Claude style, the fearless canine swooshes out of the house via the bathtub. Out at sea and joined by trusted companion, Sir Bobblysock, Claude meets mermaids, dolphins, Captain Poopdeck, and an enormous, ferocious sea monster called Nigel! Can Claude save them all from the monster?
Claude was selected for the Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize, the Richard and Judy Book Club and is soon to be a TV star on Disney Junior in 2017. Alex T. Smith is a World Book Day Illustrator.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant fun; every spread brims over with visual and verbal delights. If you enjoy quirky; don't miss this one ... Actually, just don't miss it.
For a child who loves a good laugh, Claude All At Sea is a sweet, funny, colourfully illustrated story
For emerging readers I recommend the Claude books by Alex T. Smith...with easy-to-follow text, a playful layout and humorous illustrations
With wonderful humour and brilliant illustrations, this is a joy of a book.
This is Claude's first outing in a picture book, and it's a real corker ... writer-illustrator Smith carefully introduces little children to new words and sounds, and fires their imaginations with a surprisingly friendly sea monster
With irreverent humour and engaging illustrations, this is perfect to be read out loud and will appeal to anyone who wants to go on a secret escapade!
I loved it
A real corker ... writer-illustrator Smith carefully introduces little children to new words and sounds (whoosh) and fired their imaginations with a surprisingly friendly sea monster ... I particularly liked the hat and bow tie that Nigel wears
Claude is a delightful character whose resourcefulness and joie de vivre will appeal to both youngsters and adults. Clever use of colour and typography brings the story and its characters to life, and offers plenty of opportunity for noisy interaction.
This is a great introduction for a younger audience to the 'Claude' series and will have little ones laughing out loud.
Alex T Smith's latest creation is a perfect combination of words and pictures, which make an engaging, inventive and humorous caper
