Claude is a small plump dog with a penchant for snazzy berets and a bent for problem solving. Accompanied by his sidekick Sir Bobblysock, he ventures into the city in the first of two episodes, followed by a second involving a visit to the hospital. The text in the opening pages is confidence building for less experienced readers and there are plenty of picture cues in the humorous illustrations.
