When newlyweds John and his wife Jenny decide they want to adopt a puppy, they find a bargain Labrador Retriever, and so Marley enters their lives. Marley is full of energy, boundless enthusiasm, ecstatic love, and trouble with a capital "T." Marley eats everything - shoes, toy soldiers, even an expensive piece of jewelry. He hates being alone, is terrified of thunderstorms (a real problem when the Grogan family lived in Florida) and manages to bump into, jump onto, or knock over just about everything in sight. John Grogan has adapted his bestselling book for adults, Marley & Me, into a fast-paced funny tale that will have kids laughing out loud. Dog owners will recognize some common puppy problems, magnified a thousandfold in the incorrigible Marley. The book recounts all of Marley's thirteen glorious years, including his illness and death, but even in the poignant end, Marley's love of life is what readers will best remember.
