Arena is delighted to announce that Claude In The City, written and illustrated by Alex T Smith (Hodder Children's Books) has been recommended by Richard & Judy's first ever Children's Book Club. In association with WHSmith, the new book club is read and reviewed by kids of different ages and interests who pick 18 titles to inspire young readers and aid parents with selecting the best reading material for their children. The books will feature in-store in a Buy One, Get One for £1 offer until the end of February.

Alex's delightful story and funny illustrations have been recommended for readers aged 5 to 8 years old in the Read Yourself Category. Claude is a small plump dog who wears a beret and a bright red jumper, but he is no ordinary dog.... Accompanied by his friend Sir Bobblysock they take a trip to the City for the very first time and end up foiling a robbery and saving the day.
