Claude is no ordinary dog - he leads an extraordinary life! When Mr and Mrs Shinyshoes set off for work, Claude decides what adventure he wants to have that day. Today he and Sir Bobblysock go to the city for the very first time. The have tea in a cafe, go shopping and visit a museum. It is all very normal until...Claude accidentally foils a robbery and becomes the local hero! Claude in the City has also been selected for the Richard and Judy Children's Book Club 2011.

In the third installment of Claude's hilarious adventures, Claude and Sir Bobblysock pack their bags and go on vacation to the beach. They rescue a man from a shark, win a sandcastle-bulding competition, and hunt for pirate treasure. Of course, they make it back home just before Mr. and Mrs. Shineyshoes come in from work.

When Mr. and Mrs. Shineyshoes leave for the day, their dog Claude and his sock puppet sidekick, Sir Bobblysock, visit the circus. From Alex T. Smith's hilariously illustrated early chapter book series. After rescuing a runaway baby carriage, Claude and Sir Bobblysock are invited to watch a circus. But Claude can't keep his hands to himself and accidentally sabotages the performing equipment. Still, the show must go on―even if Claude and Sir Bobblysock have to put on the entire thing themselves. What a wonderful day! Quirky, delightfully odd, and positively surreal, Alex T. Smith's beloved Claude series promises fits of giggles for readers transitioning from picture books to chapter books. Two-color illustrations throughout.

When Claude and Sir Bobblysock go for a walk in the countryside, they find themselves at Woollybottom Farm. There they meet Mrs. Cowpat, the farmer, and offer to help her get ready for the county fair, which will be held in her fields later that day. Claude gathers chickens' eggs, tries his hand at being a sheepdog, and rides a horse like a real cowboy. When Mrs. Cowpat asks Claude to wash her pigs for the Most Beautiful Pigs competition, he not only cleans them but gives them a spa-like experience. Later, the fair begins. Claude enjoys the baking, vegetable, and pig competitions until he hears someone crying for help—it's one of the judges, and he's being chased by a bull! Claude musters up all of his courage and lassoes the bull, saving the day. Mrs. Cowpat asks Claude to stay and become a farmer, but he decides he'd miss his home too much. So he and Sir Bobblysock go home and take a nap, just in time for Mr. and Mrs. Shinyshoes to come home from work.

Claude and Sir Bobblysock join a dance troupe and head to the theater to perform their act. But being backstage gives them the heebie-jeebies! It’s so dark and spooky…could the legend of the theater ghost be true?

In this latest adventure, on a winter's day, Claude goes from throwing snowballs and making snowmen to causing an all-out avalanche! In a stunning hardback edition for the first time. Claude was selected for the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize and the Richard and Judy Book Club. Praise for Claude: '...illustrated with humour and elegance...' The Times
