Claude at the Beach - Softcover

"This early chapter book is often hilarious... Smith's pink and gray, retro-modern illustrations are charming... Readers who take it too seriously might end up like Claude, floating in the middle of the ocean, wearing baggy underpants (held together with sticky tape) and pursued by a shark-but they'll be laughing."

"Humorous red-accented illustrations, an amusing storytelling style, and quirky plots will continue to delight Claude's fans."

"A fun choice for children who enjoy absurdist humor, but probably best as a read-aloud."

In the third installment of ClaudeÕs hilarious adventures, Claude and Sir Bobblysock pack their bags and go on vacation to the beach. They rescue a man from a shark, win a sandcastle-building competition, and hunt for pirate treasure. Of course, they make it back home just before Mr. and Mrs. Shinyshoes come home from work.
