This book is a kid’s version of the book named Marley and Me. It is just some more funny stories about the dog. I liked this book because maybe the kids have watched the movie or have heard about it. It is a funny book about Marley as a puppy destroying things and there is many in the series. I would not personally use this book in a teaching way but I would have the book available for the children. I liked the illustrations because they fit well with the story. Also liked the reoccurring them o...
The youngest LOVES these books. I tend to agree with the older son's assessment, which is that the family aren't very good dog owners.
Bad book, Marley!If you're looking for a children's book that models irresponsible pet ownership, this one's for you. Marley tears the house to ribbons each time the family leaves the house--much of this destruction could have been prevented by the appropriate use of a crate. When Marley eats an entire chocolate cake, Mom is enraged. (She should have been thankful the dog wasn't dead!) The family attempts to give away their dog in a newspaper "free to a good home" ad--the absolute worst and most...
Bad Dog, Marley is about a family who desperately wants a dog. One day, the dad comes home and surprises his wife and kids with a puppy named Marley. Although they loved him dearly, Marley turned out to be a very badly-behaved dog. He ate everything insight, destroyed their clothes and shoes, and always made a mess. One day, when Marley destroyed their couch, the mother decided it was time to give Marley up to another family- he had crossed the last line. The problem was, nobody else wanted Marl...

I always loved this book. It was really relatable. All the dogs who have been apart of my family each having their own unique personalities, but Marley always reminded me of the dog that I was closest to. Sally was high energy and loved to chew on things. We managed to teach her not to chew certain items, but still barked at the UPS man when he dropped things off but loved the mailman. She once got so excited barking at the neighbor's cat that she broke through the window, ran across the neighbo...

Each of my kids have begged to have this book read to them over and over again. It's not my favorite, but it is theirs!! The colorful and expressive illustrations are very fun. I don't love the repetition but I'm not five so...For kids I'm recommending this 5/5 stars. For adults forced to read it 10,000 times it's only a three :)
