Review by Horn Book Review

When two kittens move in with dog Marley and his human family, he gets scolded for doing his version of the adorable things they do (e.g., licking themselves clean). The promising premise is marred by grating and pedestrian prose ("'Waddy, you wock!' Baby Louie screeched. And the whole family laughed"). Cowdrey is equally adept at the story's slapstick and heartwarming moments. Copyright 2010 of The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
