Marley: A Dog Like No Other John Grogan


I read Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog , a few years back but I came across this special adaptation for young readers and was inspired to read Marley's story again.

Grogan does an fantastic job of adapting this for younger readers. I strongly recommend both versions for all!

You don't have to be a dog lover to enjoy this novel ... you will be moved.... You will laugh, shake you head and feel sympathetic for both Marley and his owners.

Most importantly you will cry and fall in love with this sweet, rambunctious lab.
This is not just a dog story but also a love story.


Grade: A+
