WORLD BOOK DAY Part One: CLAUDE and Sir Bobblysock Fashion Show

Cor! Would you look at these lovely CLAUDE fans! Don't they look spiffing?!

It was World Book Day on Friday and all over the UK, children and teachers were going into schools dressed as their favourite book characters. And our new best friends Charlie, Tilly and Caitlin decided to go dressed as us! I blushed all the way from the toes of my shineyshoes to the top of my beret when I saw them and Sir Bobblysock had to sit on the sofa with a bunch of chilled grapes on his forehead.

We are so excited and delighted and waggy-tailed about these photos and think our friends look marvellous!

And, we must say a HUGE great big thank you to their wonderful mums who not only whizzed these costumes up, but took the time to photograph them and send them to us via Twitter. 

So thank you @katejones11 (Charlie's Mum) @debsmonkey (Tilly's Mum) and @natfantastic (Caitlin's Mum). You all deserve a a fruity cocktail like Sir Bobblysock drinks!

Caitlin's lovely mum also wrote this jolly nice blogpost about Sir Bobblysock. Such kind words. Sir Bobblysock had a fit of the vapours over it. He's never had a blog post all about him before!

Yet another happy (beret-wearing) reader!

Look at this lovely young lady! Doesn't she look lovely with her beret worn at the correct regulation jaunty angle!

This little Claude fan is none other than Mya (aka Chickpea) whose clever mummy Teri won a copy of our new book "Claude at the Circus" when it came out last month.

Thank you Teri for sending us this picture. Sir Bobblysock's going to look out a nice frame for it and put it in pride of place on his desk so he can look at it whilst he writes his autobiography.

The competition was run on Twitter where we have our own twitter account ( @CLAUDE_and_SirB) and our friend Alex T. Smith is also on there too (@Alex_T_Smith). Why not join us all and have a chinwag?
