Cute story. Kids loved it.
Cute, but simple
Cute story about the rascal Marley and his joyful antics. Our girls enjoy these stories and we love funny tales about pets.
The artwork had an antique style to it. It reminded me of books from the 50s and 60s or publications from Sunday School as a kid.The story was predictable. I didn't feel much reading it. The kids enjoyed Marley and I still couldn't bring myself to giving it 3 stars. Marley couldn't save this one for me.The family is trying to get their pumpkin to the fair, it's a big pumpkin. Guess who ruins that? Yes Marley. I give it 2.5 stars.
Read together October 23, 2019Rating: 3/5 ⭐️Book #4 in our “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten” challengeLittle One Book Review: It seems Mommy and I like to read books about troublesome animals. Last month, we read about a curious monkey named George; this month, we read about a mischievous little dog named Marley. This book is based on the “Marley” stories by John Grogan, who wrote “Marley and Me.” Mommy has that book on her TBR.We chose “Marley and the Runaway Pumpkin” as our first book of autum...
Marley's family has grown a giant pumpkin that they are going to take to the fair. They hope to win first prize. Marley wants to go with them, but they tell Marley no, and tie him up. Marley escapes and hops into the truck, but causes the pumpkin to fall out and break apart. So instead of being upset, the family decides to make pumpkin pie, which wins first prize at the fair!
This is an adorable book that held the attention of my younger early readers and even had a 9 year old come over to listen in. He'd even tolerate reading to his siblings out loud if asked.Perfect as a read with help book. Enough bigger words that the story is interesting.
Nate 5 stars!
You know there are kids in he house when... Fun and interesting book allowing children to practice reading and enjoy a good book.
Marley gets into trouble with the family's possible prize-winning pumpkin.
6/5/18 Read with Naomi, Julia, & Simon
This one is a family favorite that the kids have read over and over again!
“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when life gives you a smashed pumpkin, make pie.” The story is not at all what I expected. It is a still a happy ending as most of the children picture books are. But it is a happy ending with a little surprise. It will be a good book to discuss with students about which part of the story they predict, and which part surprises them.
Great book for students to love and great series of books
Unlike some, I enjoyed the old fashioned art work and of COURSE Marley is the one who let the pumpkin lose. It's always Marley. That's why its his name on the cover and he has non-fiction book AND a movie.Super cute, but I question showing the little girl feeding Marley pieces of pumpkin pile at the ending. Let's not give the kiddos ideas about feeding dogs pie.
