It's cool and hipfeeling and, at times, quite funny. Kids who dig quirky Claude will await his next adventures." ―Booklist<br><br>"While there are no comics or superheroes, some of the wordplay (the doctor's name is Ivan Achinbum) as well as the display of underwear (both men's and women's) in numerous illustrations may remind readers of the perennially popular Captain Underpants series." ―Kirkus Reviews<br><br>"With quirky illustrations and goofy humor, Claude's adventures will be catnip to 7- to 11-year-olds who like to laugh." ―The Wall Street Journal<br>
