It's no secret that I am a big fan of Alex T Smith. I first discovered him in Claude's first story, ''[[Claude in the City'' by Alex T Smith|Claude in the City]] and fell in love with the little dog in the red beret and his best friend, Sir Bobblysock. I know, I can already sense some of you rolling your eyes at the thought of a story featuring a dog and a sock, but really you'd be doing yourself a favour to just stop being a grown up for fifteen minutes and let yourself revel in the pleasure of a highly enjoyable story!
In this adventure we see Claude and Sir Bobblysock heading off to the park. You wouldn't think they could get up to much mischief in a local park but of course Claude is no ordinary dog. There are entanglements with some joggers, a spot of bother on the golf course, a dashing rescue and then an impromptu performance at the visiting circus. The story has a good pace to it with lots of things going on and, of course, plenty of very silly humour.
