内容简介A heart-warming story about the World's Worst Dog, adapted from John Grogan's phenomenally bestselling memoir, Marley and Me. Meet Marley, a yellow furball of a puppy who quickly grows into a large, rowdy Labrador retriever. Marley is always getting into trouble, whether he is stealing underwear, crashing through doors, or drooling on guests, 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. He brings joy to his family, the Grogans, and teaches them what really matters in life.
作者简介John Grogan is an award-winning newspaper columnist and a former editor in chief of Organic Gardening magazine. His first book, Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog, is a number one international bestseller with three million copies in print and rights sold in more than two dozen languages. He lives with his wife, three children and their new dog, Gracie, in the Pennsylvania countryside.
编辑推荐Review
Reviews for Marley and Me:Life and Love with the Worlds Worst Dog '!a very funny Valentine ! full of tail-thumping enthusiasm.' The New York Times 'This is a wonderful, moving book that even non-dog-lovers cannot fail to enjoy.' The Mail on Sunday 'Made me laugh so much that I pulled a muscle in my solar plexus.' Daily Mail
In this adaptation of his bestselling memoir, Marley & Me, Grogan celebrates the life of his free-spirited, bad-boy Labrador retriever. When Grogan innocently picks the enthusiastic Marley from the puppy litter, little does he know this dog will crash through his life with hilarious abandon for the next 13 years. "Wild as a banshee and as strong as a bull," Marley grows at a furious rate, chomping and chewing everything in sight. At six months, the incorrigible Marley is kicked out of obedience school. When a film company wants a "big, dumb, loopy dog," Marley's a natural. Whenever there's an electric storm, Marley claws his way out of steel cages like a pro. Over the years, Grogan and his growing family became increasingly attached to their goofy canine, but eventually the elderly Marley wears out, prompting Grogan to acknowledge that despite his flaws, Marley was "a great dog." Written with real affection and humor, this tender tribute to a dog "with stinky breath and bad manners" will win the hearts of even those who aren't dog lovers. (Nonfiction. 8-12) (Kirkus Reviews)
