Layla and the Bots: Happy Paws
Happy Paws is a special early-reader treat from a lovely fellow Eph (i.e., an alumna of Williams College). The series are all worth investing in – great vocabulary, bright happy illustrations, and plenty of teachable moments for young audiences learning to read independently.

SYNOPSIS
Layla is heartbroken when she finds out that her favorite amusement park is going out of business. She and her three friendly robots research the cause for the shutdown – guests want to take their dogs along but the park’s sad-looking doggy day care has closed down. As a true can-do inventor, Layla and the Bots begin designing fun doggy day care facilities! After extensive R&D, consumer surveys, prototype testing, and a resolved safety-inspector snag, the project is a huge success! Layla, Bots, happy dogs and their owners celebrate with an awesome rock concert.
