SLIPPERS LOVES TO RUN [series] by Andrew Clements illustrated by Janie Bynum Slippers wants to go to school with Laura, but school is no place for a puppy. When she isn’t looking, he nuzzles his way into her backpack. Slippers rides the bus, then visits the classroom, the cafeteria, the gym, and even the principal’s office, all without Laura noticing—but plenty of other people do! Kids will squeal with delight over knowing more than Laura and seeing the incongruity of a puppy in a school’s hallowed halls. Like its predecessors, Slippers at Home and Naptime for Slippers, Slippers at School works beautifully as both a read-aloud and an early reader. |

From School Library Journal
“A frisky puppy wants to play with his people, but everyone is too busy. With Mommy working in the garden, baby Edward digging in the sandbox, and Daddy and Laura fixing the swings, Slippers is left on his own. When he pokes his head through an opening in the front gate, his curiosity is piqued: It smelled BIG out there. As the inquisitive pup explores his new surroundings, he sees an edward….But it wasn’t Edward. Slippers just wants to be friendly, but is quickly shooed away by the stranger’s dad. He races all the way home until he is surrounded by his family in the middle of the biggest hug. Bynum’s ink-and-watercolor pictures capture the pooch's boundless energy, from chasing a beach ball to tunneling through bushes. The repetitive, patterned text cleverly provides a dog's-eye view of the world. Emergent readers will enjoy the continuing adventures of Slippers.” |
