Book Reviews of Bad Dog, Marley!
Book Review: My first exposure to John Grogan and Marley
Summary: 5 Stars
When one of my students insisted I read this book to the class, I admittedly did so with a grain of salt. I mean, how many naughty doggy stories can anyone possibly write? I had never heard of John Grogan and was not at all sure of what to expect. What I read has to be one of the most charming, heartfelt, and hilarious stories ever written to children about a dog. In simplified, child-friendly prose, Grogan tells the story-book version of how he and his family acquired a very bad puppy named Marley. Marley is full of trouble and horendously destructive. But, as we are told, he tried so hard to be good! It has all the right drama (while I'm not sure what is true and what is story) and Grogan has an incredible gift for writing that splashes personality and humor directly into the story. I have fallen in love with a naughty puppy named Marley.
Summary of Bad Dog, Marley!
Mommy, Daddy, Cassie, and Baby Louie welcome Marley, their new Labrador pup, into their family. But Marley doesn't stay a tiny puppy for long. He grows and grows, and the bigger Marley gets, the bigger trouble he gets into. Big, bad-boy trouble. Whether it's chewing Mommy's reading glasses or swallowing Daddy's paycheck, Marley is a dog like no other. He tries to be a good dog, honest he does, but everything he tries ends up bad. Then one day Marley goes too far. Will this family have to find a new home for their big, crazy, pure-hearted dog?
Inspired by John Grogan's bestselling memoir, Marley & Me, this heartwarming story shows that loving someone, flaws and all, can reap huge rewards.
