Claude in the City

by Alex T. Smith

Ages 5–8 Reading age 6 Short chapters Set in everyday life funnywarm

A small round dog in a beret and jumper heads into town with his sock companion and accidentally foils a robbery before teatime.

A story about animals, funny and warm in tone. We would put it with children of 5–8, and at a reading age of about 6 for reading alone.

Nothing flagged

We have not flagged any content in this one that a parent would usually want warning about.

Part of a series

This is book 1 of the Claude series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
