“The tiny trim size and duo-tone artwork, all shades of black, grey, red, and pink, give this UK import a distinctly retro feel, and Claude–mostly head and snout–is an amiable, unintentional hero. . . It’s cool and hipfeeling and, at times, quite funny. Kids who dig quirky Claude will await his next adventures.” —Booklist
“With quirky illustrations and goofy humor, Claude’s adventures will be catnip to 7- to 11-year-olds who like to laugh.” —The Wall Street Journal
“Claude and his sidekick, a sock named Sir Bobblysock, prove to be foundations of good cheer and sweet humor. . . There’s much to love in this resurrection of the cheerful city chronicle of the ’60s. . . ” —Publishers Weekly
“While there are no comics or superheroes, some of the wordplay (the doctor’s name is Ivan Achinbum) as well as the display of underwear (both men’s and women’s) in numerous illustrations may remind readers of the perennially popular Captain Underpants series.” —Kirkus Reviews
