John Grogan

With his trademark blend of humor and pathos that made "Marley & Me" beloved by millions, John Grogan tells the powerful story of a son in the making--a universal journey of love, faith, and family that explores what it means to break away and find the way home once again.

Anticipating his first snowfall and Santa's arrival, the rambunctious puppy Marley jumps in to help his family prepare for Christmas, with his usual penchant for causing trouble.

Marley spots two motherless kittens by the side of the road and his family gladly adopts them, but as he tries to copy the cute behavior of the little felines, the large puppy causes more and more trouble.

When Cassie goes to her first baseball game with her father, Marley comes along, and he wants to get onto the field and play baseball too.

Collects more than seventy-five "Philadelphia Inquirer" columns by John Grogan that cover such topics as families, animals, and life in modern America.

Marley is excited to visit Uncle Bob's farm with his family, but when he tries to help Cassie with chores, he seems to always be in the way. However, when a lamb goes missing, Marley is the one who saves the day.

When Marley is left to babysit the little chicks that Cassie has brought home from school, they get loose from their cage and it is up to Marley to round them up. But he is having so much fun with them that he forgets about getting them back in their cage before Mother and Cassie get home.

When a pair of kittens joins the family, an exuberant Marley enjoys teaching his new friends all about life at the house, from where to wait for Cassie to where not to sniff, until a thunderstorm reveals helpful lessons that the kittens can teach.

Marley barks all day long, but when something important happens, he is worried his family will not pay attention to his warning.
