Praise for Claude:
'The author is a comparative newcomer to picture books; on this evidence, he should go far.'
The Independent on Sunday
'A handsome creation.'
The Children's Bookseller
'I loved everything about this book.'
A funny and exciting story.
Fast-paced, funny and with the marvellous illustrations one would expect from Smith... an entertaining and recommended read for the infant age group.
Wildly illustrated on every page by Alex T Smith. Early reading... made highly enjoyable.
Playful... anarchic... wicked sense of humour... great fun.
Alex's fantastic illustrations bring this great caper to life, a brilliant new series for newly confident readers.
