In my Opinion my favourite character was Claude in this book because Claude saved a sculpture from the Art museum from being stolen and he got medal for being the best superhero. It interested me because I had really enjoyed my first Claude book so I wanted to read another one . I definitely would recommend it to someone else because it was funny and it put a smile on my face. I will 100% read a nother Claude book!!!!!!!

This was the first chapter book I read all by myself. I really enjoyed it because it was funny and has good pictures. My favourite parts were when the police chased the criminals and when Sir Bobblysock needed mending to fix the hole in him
