Children's Literature
Marley is back. This time he found two orphaned kittens in the field, and his family decided to keep them. Marley tried to welcome them into the home, but he just is not as small or graceful as the kittens, and Marley ends up making a mess of everything and he is worried that the kittens will take his place in the family. Fortunately for Marley, the kittens want to keep him company also, and everything works out for Marley in the end. The story is sweet, and can teach young children that they can be loved even when they make mistakes. This will also teach children the difference between cats and dogs. The realistic illustrations are beautiful. The cats are snuggly, Marley is beautiful, and the humans are genuine. The humans and animals both have very expressive eyes and facial features. Children will enjoy the latest adventure of Marley. Reviewer: Nicole Peterson Davis
