6 On The Slopes

CLAUDE on the Slopes RS SEEN ON TV AlexT Smith

At 112 Waggy Avenue, there lives a dog. A small dog. A small, plump dog. A small, plump dog who wears shoes and a jumper and a rather nifty beret. This dog is called Claude. Hello, Claude!

He lives with Mr and Mrs Shinyshoes... ...and his best pal in the whole world, Sir Bobblysock, who is both a sock and quite bobbly.

Every day, after Mr and Mrs Shinyshoes have hotfooted it out of the door to work, Claude pops on his beret and goes on an adventure with Sir Bobblysock. But where will they go today?

One morning (it was a Tuesday), Claude woke up in a rather loud sort of a mood. He whistled loudly as he tied up his shoelaces. He hummed loudly as he smoothed his jumper down over his tummy. And he said, 'Oooh! Aren't you lovely?' loudly to himself whilst looking in a mirror. So loudly in fact, that he blew the froth off the top of Sir Bobblysock's frothy coffee from the other side of the kitchen.

The reason Claude was feeling so noisy today was because he and Sir Bobblysock had spent the day before (which had been a Monday) at the library. Miss Hush, the librarian, had explained that although it was OK to make a bit of noise in the library- especially when you've found a very exciting book- turning up in your one-man-band outfit was a bit much.
