Marley Goes to School

Written by John Grogan

Narrated by Fred Berman

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!

Reviews for Marley Goes to School

[librarianryan · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is probably just me, but I don’t like Marley. I don’t like his adult book, his kids books, or his movie. It makes me think of adults to lazy to train their dog. Marley runs to school to follow his girl, and he gets into all sorts of trouble. This book paints the adults as bad and mean. I just don't care for it.

The students I read this with loved it. Really nicely written and the illustration that ranked as a consistent favorite was the Marley in disguise in Mrs. Weatherbee's math class. A real crowd pleaser.

Marley doesn't disappoint in this newest adventure - this time at Cassie's school. This picture book, suitable for readers of all ages and dog lovers in particular, is 40 pages of fun. A dog on the loose in school would be a wonderful distraction to a boring school day. Colourful illustrations, supported by a good story make this an engaging picture book while telling the tales of Marley the crazy labrador retriever.
