Description

When Mr. and Mrs. Shineyshoes leave for the day, their dog Claude and his sock puppet sidekick, Sir Bobblysock, take a trip to the local stage theater. From Alex T. Smith’s hilariously illustrated early chapter book series.

Claude and Sir Bobblysock join a dance troupe and are preparing to perform their act. But being backstage in the theater gives them the heebie-jeebies! It’s so dark and spooky…and maybe even haunted! Could the legend of the theater ghost be true? What a wonderful day!

Quirky, delightfully odd, and positively surreal, Alex T. Smith’s beloved Claude series promises fits of giggles for readers transitioning from picture books to chapter books. Two-color illustrations throughout.
