With all the excitement of Christmas approaching, it’s no surprise that Marley, the lovable pup with a nose for trouble, wants to join in. Anticipating his very first snowfall and Santa’s arrival, Marley jumps in to help his family in every way he can. But while Marley may have good intentions, it’s not long before he tears down the twinkle lights, attacks a paper chain of snowflakes, and mistakes the Christmas tree for . . . well . . . his very own indoor bathroom.
Will Marley’s rowdiness ruin Christmas, or will he find a way to share some holiday magic with his family? Packed with hilarious Marley bad-boy antics, this follow-up to the #1 bestselling Bad Dog, Marley! delivers a heartfelt holiday story.
"I purchased A Very Marley Christmas for an early Christmas gift this year for my four year old daughter. For her birthday in September,someone bought her "Trick or Treat Marley" and she loved it! I thought it would be a great idea to get this Christmas book before the holiday to get her excited about Christmas. These books are very well illustrated and the wording is perfect for any age. I sometimes make up my own words to go along with the funny pictures inside. My daughter got interested in these series of books after watching the movie "Marley and Me". We even have a 9 month yellow lab named "Marley". I just ordered "Marley and the Kittens" and can't wait to give it to her for Christmas.I plan on ordering all the Marley series books over the next year!"
