John Grogan wrote this adaptation of his #1 New York Times bestselling Marley & Me just for kids. In his own words, here is the heartwarming and unforgettable story of how this big, rambunctious dog becomes the heart of the Grogan family.
Meet Marley, a yellow furball of a puppy who quickly grows into a large, rowdy Labrador retriever. With an appetite for nearly anything he can get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewelry, Marley is always getting into trouble. Some may say he's the world's worst dog.
But those who know and love Marley accept him as a dog like no other. His heart is pure and his larger-than-life personality irresistible. With unconditional love and loyalty, he brings joy to his family, the Grogans, and teaches them what really matters in life.

“Neil Patrick Harris’ nuanced performance adds to this appealing dog story, a children’s adaptation of Grogan’s Marley & Me. Harris’ deadpan recital of Marley the Labrador retriever’s havoc and Grogan’s underlying affection for him are perfectly portrayed. Hearing the tender compassion in Harris’ voice as Marley’s health declines, one suspects that Harris, like Grogan, has a soft spot for canines. Harris even manages to subtly age his voice as the memoir moves from Grogan’s first days with Marley through thirteen years of living with this capricious pooch. Adults will enjoy sharing Marley’s madcap exploits with youngsters.”
