NAPTIME FOR SLIPPERS [series] by Andrew Clements, illustrated by Janie Bynum Slippers does not like naptime. There is too much for a puppy to do instead of sleep. Before he can settle down, he has to collect a few things. One by one he finds Edward's shoe, Laura's cap, and Daddy's work glove-all of which smell like them-and puts them in his little house. When it's time to go for a walk with Mommy, Slippers is too tired. Now, finally, Slippers is ready for naptime. Full of rambunctious play and inimitable personality, Slippers will win over children's hearts as he helps them learn to read. |

From School Library Journal
“A humorous look at an endearing puppy and his daily routine. Slippers has a special relationship with each member of his family....Clements infuses this charming dog’s-eye view of life with great verbal images such as ‘the slippy-slidey kitchen’ and ‘his waggy white tail.’ Bynum’s soft pastel paintings alternate between pages covered with smaller images of Slippers in action and framed illustrations that can't quite contain the ebullient pup and his family....A lighthearted tale for young pet lovers.”
