A book about a dog for children

A book about a dog for children

Yesterday’s “Sunday Sun” on its front page had a picture of a baby which the newspaper said was biten by an Akita while petting the dog on its head.  Different tale from the earlier version.  The Akita was later killed and it is nice to know that the baby is doing fine.  Guess the editors would know why that is front page news instead of some of the people working in tourism receiving top awards.

“Marley and Me”  which showed in Barbados and was written about a mischievous Labrador Retriever which really needed training has a lot more tales coming.  Its author,  John Grogen has signed up for a 13 book deal with Harper-Collins which will have books like a “Very Marley Xmas”,  “Marley Goes to School” etc.  These picture books are all aimed at children but no doubt adults will enjoy them as well.

Books like these and the movie have done a lot for the sales of the Labrador Retriever which is well known for a children’s pet and it is regarded as a breed which is also easy to train.

I know these children’s books are available from Amazon.Com and I suspect the major book stores in Barbados are also carrying the series.

The movie “Marley and Me” was reported in the U.S.A. to have box office sales of 36 million in the first four days and in two weeks’ time, had the record for the largest Xmas day box sales ever of 14.5 million ticket sales in the first day! In 2 weeks, the sales had gone to 106.7 million.  And there is the dvd of the movie.

Share and Enjoy !
