Text by Susan Hill. When Cassie and her family visit Uncle Bob's farm, she proves to be an excellent helper. Yellow Lab puppy Marley, on the other hand, runs amok in the garden and scatters the chickens and sheep. In the end, of course, Marley redeems himself. The overly sweet story, with illustrations of anthropomorphized animals and ever-smiling, squeaky-clean folks, is gratingly Dick-and-Jane reminiscent. (c) Copyright 2011.
