When Cassie has her first day of school, her dog Marley decides to come with her. Marley always seems to find trouble though and going to school is no exception. The story follows Marley and his antics through the school day.
Fun, action-packed read aloud.
It was a good read.
When Marley's favorite human one up and goes to school, well Marley is off to try and get to them. Problem is this is Marley and trouble seems to know exactly where Marley is at every moment, as he bounds his way through all parts of the school.
This book was so funny! I like dogs. Marley looks like Gramma's dog Rudy.
John Grogan, author of the wildly popular adult memoir "Marley and Me," writes a picture book about the troublesome dog following his girl to school. It's a cute but highly predictable story with a few problems. For example, what grade school has a science room with mice in a cage?Something bothers me about the art in this book, as well. It strongly reminds me of the artwork from "Dick and Jane." Static and industry standard illustrations lack movement and true multicultural representation. Ther...
What I Can Tell You:If you find the names Marley and John Grogan familiar, it is not surprise. This is the same John who wrote the adult book Marley and Me.My kids love how big the book is (10 x 10). It can lie on all our laps and the pictures take up both pages.Marley is sweet and funny. He just misses his "Cassie" while she is in school. Sometime I know a lot about.My kids loved the pictures, especially this one! Marley and Cassie sleeping together with smiles. Too cute.The biggest drawback to...
This is a fun book about a dog who decides to follow one of his owners to school one day. Students will be able to relate to this story if they have ever had a pet or have seen a dog visit their school before. This would be a great book to read if a dog was coming to visit your school or classroom. In my first grade classroom last semester we had the opportunity to have a few dogs visit the class.
This is a silly book starring John Grogan's lovable Marley, the incorrigible dog who gets into everything. While I really enjoyed his novel, these books for children are good, but not great. The colorful illustrations are cute and the humorous ways Marley gets into trouble definitely elicited a laugh from our girls. They especially liked his disguise while sitting in Mrs. Weatherbee's class.
I love this excitement behind the story. As a kid, I always wondered what it would be like if one of my pets came to school. The dog does many mischievous things like running through the school, eating hot dogs in the lunch room, letting the school rats out, and more. Its a fun, light-hearted story. I enjoyed reading it.
This is probably just me, but I don’t like Marley. I don’t like his adult book, his kids books, or his movie. It makes me think of adults to lazy to train their dog. Marley runs to school to follow his girl, and he gets into all sorts of trouble. This book paints the adults as bad and mean. I just don't care for it.
It's the first day of school, and Marley digs out from the backyard to join Cassie in her classroom. Marley makes it to school, but never to Cassie's classroom, he's too busy causing a ruckus, and finding himself in and out trouble.
Marley Goes to School is based on a true story and movie about Marley the dog. Marley is energetic and mischievous, but has a strong bond with her owners, especially Cassie. As Marley watches Cassie get ready for school, he realizes that he wants to go with Cassie. Marley gets his best bones ready for school, but sadly his owners will not let him go with Cassie. Marley finds an escape, and is off to go see Cassie at school. This book takes the reader through the wild and exciting adventures that...
Caveat: this review is written by a grown up "cat" (not dog) person.In my experience a young child will rarely say no to the chance to sit down with an adult and read a picture book with them. I read this with my three year old daughter, and while she enjoyed the experience, I don't think it will feature on her "high rotation" bookshelf. I read John Grogan's "Marley and me" last year and it was okay, despite the constant feeling of dread and disbelief as page after page revealed Marley's amazing...
