Book Description

Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up

It's the first day of school, and Cassie is all set to go. So is her dog, Marley!

Although he's told to stay, Marley digs a tunnel out of the backyard and sniffs his way to school. As he roams the halls looking for Cassie, he finds trouble instead. From wolfing down hot dogs in the cafeteria to setting free a bunch of mice in science class, Marley won't stop until he locates his best friend. This lovable and rowdy dog may not be much of an academic, but he's full of school spirit!

Packed with action and hilarious Marley bad-boy antics, this follow-up to the bestselling Bad Dog, Marley! and A Very Marley Christmas will leave readers howling for more. Awooo!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not engaging, poorly written, September 12, 2009

This review is from: Marley Goes to School (Hardcover)

I saw that this book was an Amazon best seller, and as a huge fan of Marley & Me, I purchased it for my 3 young children. I had hoped that it would be a well written, engaging story with an endearing dog and unique storyline. We are all disappointed. The writing is terrible. And, the story line is neither unique or engaging. The pictures are wonderful but not worth the purchase. Save your money for a better option.

This is a cute story for younger kids! My kids really liked the pictures and imagining what it would be like if a dog really came to their school.

I run a small Children's Literacy program on Cape Ann. We selected Marley Goes to School as the October selection to be read to all of the First Grades. The children were engaged and attentive and enjoyed the book very much. The chilren are also able to read the book on their own and thus got a further lesson in the plesures of reading
