This book is great for kids!

Having just read John Grogan's book "Marley and Me," I had to have the children's book. I loved and laughed heartily at John Grogan's heartwarming story of life with his beloved dog Marley and his growing family. I am a fourth grade teacher and had already shared some especially funny excerpts with my students. Subsequently, I introduced and read "Bad Dog Marley!" to my students and they loved it! I would recommend reading "Marley and Me" before the children's book to get a true appreciation of the trials and tribulations of owning a dog like Marley. As a side note, having shared my imense enjoyment of the book "Marley and Me" with another teacher, I learned that she also has a "Marley" sort of dog, only his name is Walter!

My first exposure to John Grogan and Marley

When one of my students insisted I read this book to the class, I admittedly did so with a grain of salt. I mean, how many naughty doggy stories can anyone possibly write? I had never heard of John Grogan and was not at all sure of what to expect. What I read has to be one of the most charming, heartfelt, and hilarious stories ever written to children about a dog. In simplified, child-friendly prose, Grogan tells the story-book version of how he and his family acquired a very bad puppy named Marley. Marley is full of trouble and horendously destructive. But, as we are told, he tried so hard to be good! It has all the right drama (while I'm not sure what is true and what is story) and Grogan has an incredible gift for writing that splashes personality and humor directly into the story. I have fallen in love with a naughty puppy named Marley.

Bad Dog Marley

I read the adult version and loved it. I am a dog lover but you do not have to be to love this book. My grandchildren love it!!

Bad Dog Marley is Hilarious!!!

Marley is a sweet new Labrador puppy who a nice family has decided to adopt for their children, Cassie and Baby Louie. What they don't know is that Marley just can't seem to get out of trouble. The more and more he grows, the more trouble he gets into. One day Marley makes the big mistake of eating Dad's paycheck, what will he do now? I think this an excellent story. It has humor, great illustrations, and in the end you find out that Marley is a real actual dog. I would definately recommend this book to children, teachers, and parents who want to read aloud to their kids at home. Go and buy it, you won't regret it.

Mommy, Daddy, Cassie, and Baby Louie welcome Marley, their new Labrador pup, into their family. But Marley doesn't stay a tiny puppy for long. He grows and grows, and the bigger Marley gets, the bigger trouble he gets into. Big, bad-boy trouble. Whether it's chewing Mommy's reading glasses or swallowing Daddy's paycheck, Marley is a dog like no other. He tries to be a good dog, honest he does, but everything he tries ends up bad. Then one day Marley goes too far. Will this family have to find a new home for their big, crazy, pure-hearted dog?

Inspired by John Grogan's bestselling memoir, Marley & Me, this heartwarming story shows that loving someone, flaws and all, can reap huge rewards.
