Of course, they make it back home just before Mr. and Mrs. Shinyshoes come home from work.</p><p>Quirky, delightfully odd, and positively surreal, Alex T. Smith's beloved illustrated early chapter book series promises giggle-filled bedtime reading and a laugh-out-loud option for readers transitioning from picture books to chapter books. Black and white illustrations throughout. Available in ebook.</p><p>Also by Alex T.

Smith's pink and gray, retro-modern illustrations are charming... Readers who take it too seriously might end up like Claude, floating in the middle of the ocean, wearing baggy underpants (held together with sticky tape) and pursued by a shark-but they'll be laughing." ―Kirkus Reviews<br>
