When Mr and Mrs Shinyshoes set off for work, Claude decides what adventure he wants to have that day. Today he and Sir Bobblysock go to the city for the very first time. They have tea in a café, go shopping and visit a museum. It is all very normal until … Claude accidentally foils a robbery and becomes the local hero!
Claude on Holiday
Sir Bobblysock and Claude go on holiday for the very first time. They build sandcastles, eat ice cream and sunbathe. It is all very normal until ... Claude meets a band of pirates and discovers buried treasure.
Claude at the Circus
A walk in the park leads to a walk on a tightrope when Claude joins a circus, throws custard pies, and becomes the star of the show.
Claude in the Country
A quiet nature walk in the country turns into a busy day on the farm when Claude ends up mucking out the pigs, feeding the chickens, and lassoing a fearsome bull!
Claude in the Spotlight
A gentle stroll through town leads to leg kicking and bottom shaking as Claude dances his way into the theatre and straight into the spotlight!
Claude on the Slopes
In this winter adventure, Claude goes from throwing snowballs and making snowmen to causing an all-out avalanche!
Claude: Lights! Camera! Action!
Claude discovers a film set right in his very own town! When the two lead actors are injured, Claude and Sir Bobblysock are asked to take their places. Can they become movie stars with just the simple addition of a wig? Of course they can!
Claude Going for Gold!
Claude and Sir Bobblysock are excited to discover a Stonking Great Big Sports Day at their local sports centre! They are even more excited when they are asked to take part. But Claude’s doggy paddle isn’t quite fast enough, and he’s not quite as good at gymnastics as he thought he might be. Then some robbers steal the big gold trophy and Claude chases them – can he run fast enough to catch them?
Santa Claude
Claude and Sir Bobblysock think they’ve caught a burglar coming down the chimney on Christmas Eve. They clap on the handcuffs and turn on the lights. Oh no! It isn’t a burglar – it’s none other than Santa Claus himself! Now the key for the handcuffs is lost and it’s up to our two heroes to deliver all the presents before midnight
Claude At The Palace
Claude and Sir Bobblysock just happen to wander accidentally into the royal palace on a very special day indeed – the Queen’s birthday! Unfortunately the royal nanny, Nanny Stern-Bloomers, has had to take herself off for a lie-down and there’s no one to make sure the royal children stay neat and tidy for the big party. But . . . Claude and Sir Bobblysock could step in to babysit, couldn’t they? After all, princes and princesses are always on their best behaviour . . .
