Claude on the Slopes!

There are fun books everywhere! Really! 

For example, this one: 

Smith, Alex T. Claude on the Slopes. Atlanta, GA: Peachtree, 2014. Print. 

Smith, Alex T. Claude on the Slopes. Atlanta, GA: Peachtree, 2014. Print. 

The first thing I noticed about this book was the cover. Red, purple and white really work well and stand out.

The next thing I noticed was the sock on the ski.

Yes, this book has as sock as a character.  And this sock drinks coffee, AND gets a bunion!

Now, some of my notes about the book here:

Claude on the Slopes has the look of a chapter book, but the feel of a picture book. Glossy pages, fun illustrations, a nice small square shape -- this features make this a book you want to pick up and read.

Claude is a dog and he lives with his owners Mr. and Mrs. Shinyshoes on Waggy Avenue.

Claude like to be a little loud sometimes, and he also carries a tea set wherever he goes. In the story, this little quirk pays off.

The story is a light adventure about a dog who is known for being a little loud. And, yes, his best friend is a sock named Mr. Bobblysock.

Claude is a nifty dresser -- his spiffy beret proves that.

AND Claude visits the library, too! In fact, that's his first stop!

Claude on the Slopes is a beginning chapter book and its available now. It's the sixth book in a series.
