Children's Literature

If only dogs could talk! Marley is always trying to help his family, but all he seems to do is cause trouble. They got mad when he tried to get Baby out of the crib, they scolded when he ate the pancakes, and they yelled when he pulled all the clothes out of the drawers. Marley figured running away would solve all of the problems he was causing. When he smelled the sweet smells of the town bakery, the baker took him in and called Marley's family to come get him. Little did the baker know, a puppy should never be left alone with all those cookies! In this title from the "I Can Read" series, young readers can practice their reading and comprehension skills with this story of Marley and his family. Declared a "high-interest story for developing readers," this story, based on John Grogan's bestselling books, is enhanced with charming illustrations of lovable Marley. Reviewer: Jillian Hurst

After Philadelphia Inquirer columnist John Grogan wrote a tribute to his beloved pet of twelve years, the overwhelming response of readers prompted him to write the full story of Marley's colorful life. Grogan's heartfelt ode to the canine member of his family has become one of the most talked-about memoirs of the season.
