Summary: |
|||||||||
| This is a memoir about a family's "life and love with the world's worst dog." It's interesting and funny and sad. Reviewers report that this book appeals to non-readers who can read but don't. | |||||||||
Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| A must for animal lovers, probably at the GED level. Readers could keep track of Marley's personality as it develops. Episodes could be cast into Reader's Theater. Students might want to write and collect their own pet stories. They also might want to do WWW research about personalities of various breeds of dogs. The humor makes a good model for studying hyperbole. | |||||||||
