As an early reader "chapter book," the Claude series brings delightfully simple line drawings, sparingly colored with bright red and blues and a storyline complete with innuendoes that the adults will relish that is both elementary and sophisticated.
Elementary children will identify with a visit to the library and reminder to use their"indoor voice." And then the delight one feels when they encounter first snow! Discovery of snow and the fun it brings to life was a joy to Claude.
Claude wears a magical beret and it provides lots of goodies and helpful items along the way. Again, Alex T. Smith has brought a delightful book for young readers. Parents (and kiddies) who build home libraries will want to get the entire series. I encourage school and public libraries to add these to their shelves for young readers to enjoy.

The English/Spanish version of About Mammals would be perfect for my nephew and niece because they are being introduced to Spanish in preschool.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would also like The Santa Trap by Jonathan Emmett.
ReplyDeleteI learned that has two chihuahuas called Coco and Mr. Bongo along with a Yorkshire Terrier called Lucy Locket. He loves tea and cake.
ReplyDeleteThe Cheshire Cheese Cat sounds like a good book.
ReplyDeleteHe enjoys drawing in his sketchbook and people watching -- and eavesdropping. Sounds like fun to me too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOver the Candlestick would be fun to read to my grandkids :)
ReplyDeleteMy son adores the Claude books, though we've only read 3. So thanks for bringing a new one to our attention. Stanley the builder would probably be a book he would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great read and xmas present!
