Synopsis

Claude and Sir Bobblysock÷s adventures continue in the second title in this adorable series. When Mr. and Mrs. Shinyshoes leave for the day, our two heroes take a walk in the park. They get caught up among a group of joggers, have an ice cream, and take a nap in the flowerbed. But when a woman calls for help, they find themselves rescuing a runaway baby buggy with the baby still inside! After their daring success, they are invited by The Amazing Alan to come see his circus. When the performers struggle with their acts, Claude and Sir Bobblysock must save the show.After briefly considering careers in space travel, cookery and being a rabbit, Alex T. Smith finally decided to become an illustrator. He graduated from Coventry University with a degree in Illustration and won second place in the Macmillan Prize for Children's Illustration.

Watch out for this new kid on children's books block, you will be won over! (Librarymice.com)

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)
