A great book to read to my son. He likes the dog's name and it's fun.

Cute with colorful illustrations.

This is a level 2 reader, it is geared (in my opinion) for a mid level 2 reader. Kind of simple in places but in other places a bit harder.

The story itself is a sweet fun story. Marley is a puppy that goes visits a farm with his family. He put in his 'help' like a puppy can... but in the end his sweet gentle 'help' saves a baby lamb. A good fun story for a child to just enjoy but also to learn compassion as well. Well done Ms Hill.

This is one of the better stories with Marley. Great for a farm theme read and cute as can be with the illustrations of these farm animals. This is one where Marley definitely saves the day.

This book was about Marley with a sheep and he was a sheep dog well kind of cause he snuggled with a sheep. I loved this book because they snuggled and it was cute. My favourite character was the dog again because he snuggled with a sheep. I would recommend this book, I don't see why not.
