I loved everything about this book. * Bookbag *
A treat for new readers. * Peters Gazette *
Claude's gentle adventures and Alex T. Smith's irresistible illustrations make this a great book to share with children. * ABC Magazine *
Comic talent not just for writing a good story but also illustrating it in a fitting but hilarious style. * Books For Keeps *
A wonderful creation for newly independent readers. * The Bookseller *
Perfect for newly developing readers and great to share. * Primary Times *
Smith's beret-sporting pooch, Claude, is back on hapless and hilarious form in Claude At The Circus. * Junior *
Illustrated with humour and elegance on every page. * Sunday Times *
Another witty and entertaining story, with humour that will appeal to both adults and children - lovely stories to read aloud and share. Quirky and amusing, I think these books are perfect as the next step on from picture books. * parentsintouch.co.uk *
