Review

Text and art copyright 2008. First paper-over-board edition, 2014.

Art is water color muted colors with a Dick and Jane feel.

Marley is his typical rambunctious self. He "jumps in to help in every way he could." He knocks over decorations. He helps Baby Louie paint pictures. He knocks over the tree and tears into his stocking. Lots of joyful puppy fun. The book is listed at the 4-8 year old range.

It's not part of a series, but it is part of the Bad Dog, Marley fame.

Overall Book Score: good
