Bookroo's summary

Slippers, a playful puppy, cherishes his human family. As Baby Edward crawls, Laura explores upstairs, and parents provide care, Slippers finds comfort in their love. But when school starts, will Slippers feel left out or discover new adventures? Experience life through a puppy's eyes in this heartwarming tale.

From the publisher

Slippers lives in his own little house inside a bigger house. In his big house, Slippers has four people. Baby Edward walks around on all fours, just like Slippers. Laura lives in a place way up the stairs. Mommy puts food into Slippers’ round bowl to feed his round tummy. Daddy takes Slippers on long walks and always finds the way home. Every night Slippers falls asleep happy because he has four people of his very own, and he loves every one of them. Written from a puppy’s point of view and illustrated with cheerful pictures, this story is simple enough to engage toddlers and funny enough to amuse beginning readers.
