I love the Claude books. I love the illustrations, and I love the design, and I love the adventures. They have a great retro feel, and they work well as a transition from picture books to chapter books.

This is the second Claude book I've read (both thanks to NetGalley), and I was hoping to read the rest of them, but my library system does not yet own any of them. Guess I know what I'll be suggesting they purchase!

Note: I received a digital galley of this book through NetGalley. ( )

Claude on the Slopes (#3) by Alex T. Smith

2013
Fiction, children

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.

This is the third book in a delightfully fun book series for children. Claude is a dog, who along with his sidekick Sir Bobblysock ( a real sock!) explore adventures and learn lessons along the way. This book describes the excitement of experiencing snow for the first time. Claude provides advice to his mischievous friend, such as indoor and outdoor voices! Kids will find Claude quirky with his beret full of important things!

Kids will forward to reading more books about he adventures of Claude and his friends. ( )

Claude (the dog) and Sir Bobblysock (his sidekick, a sock) learn about the dangers of "too loud voices" in relation to snow and avalanches in this tale. It's a cute story that children will enjoy. Claude is certainly leads an interesting and adventurous life. I really enjoyed the illustrations in this chapter book. The review is based on an advance e-galley provided by the publisher through NetGalley for review. The book is scheduled for release 1 October 2014. ( )
