Book Description

Publication Date: April 27, 2010 | Age Level: 3 and up | Grade Level: P and up | Series: Marley

When a pair of adorable kittens joins the family, Marley is so excited to have two new friends to play with that he follows the felines everywhere. But Marley is no graceful kitten. By imitating their gentle behavior, he unintentionally makes a mess all over the house and gets into big trouble for it. What did I do this time? he wonders. Marley is afraid he may have lost his number-one status in the household . . . until an unlikely pair reminds him and his family that no one's purrrrr-fect!

In a story that hilariously reveals the differences between cats and dogs, everyone's favorite misbehaving pup learns from some new friends just how special he really is.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok Story But Needs Improvements, January 13, 2011

This review is from: Marley and the Kittens (Hardcover)

I don't normally go out of my way to review books but I had to say, this book is cute, and my son actually loves it very much. I've had to read it every night for the past 2 weeks. However, there is baby talk in it that is so irritating to repeat and he uses the word "stupid" at the end of the book. I don't encourage the use of that word by my kids and I change it to "silly" but come on. It's a kids book, I shouldn't have to bother censoring it. Just sayin!

I myself am not a huge fan of the Marley children's books, however, my 4 year old daughter is. This one is especially her favorite because she says the dog and two cats on the cover look like our dog and cats (they kind of do.) She saw this book at Target and it was around $17.00, which is too much for me to spend on a children's book that has the possibility of getting destroyed by my two year old. I got the same book on Amazon for less then $10.00 and that is an awesome deal!

I wanted to add that I see this book is now $12.23, but when I purchased in late 2010 it was $9.89. Still a good deal though!

This is a good natured book, showing animals taking care of each other. My daughter loves the pictures and the story is not too long for her 18month old attention span. Totally recommend this book.
