Claude takes center stage

Claude and his sock puppet companion, Sir Bobblysock, find their way to the circus after helping with a runaway baby carriage. A mishap with the performers’ equipment leaves the pair facing an unexpected task: putting on the show themselves. The circus setting gives this early chapter book a clear thread of performance and comic mishaps, while the two-color illustrations accompany the story throughout. Its compact premise bridges picture-book storytelling and chapter-book reading, with Claude’s accidental disruption driving the action.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 moving from picture books to chapter books
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about dogs, puppets, and circus performances

Book overview

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.
