Purchase options and add-ons

A glorious, mostly wordless picture book about a dog who needs a bath—and finds much more than that—by phenomenal debut author/illustrator Christopher Browne, who was inspired by his own rescue dog. Perfect for fans of Aaron Becker's Caldecott Honor Book Journey and Erin and Philip Stead’s books.

This lush picture book launches readers into a world of imagination: a glorious underwater adventure with seas of brilliantly colored fish, shadowy predators, and two friends who long to be reunited. With a clever seek-and-find element on each spread, there are treasures to be pored over again and again.

My Kids love Marlo!
They love looking for Marlo and the rubber ducky on each page. There are very few words in this book so its great for little ones and the older toddlers. The pictures are very well drawn.

My kids all love this book! The illustrations are gorgeous and because it's mainly a picture book with minimal reading, my new reader found relief in it. Kids can use their imaginations to narrate each beautiful page. Highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding wordless picture book except for one thing
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
I wanted to rate this wordless picture book 5 stars because my 2 1/2 year-old grandson absolutely loves it. He has so much fun finding the rubber duck on each and every set of pages! The illustrations are great and well-detailed. The only disappointment is on the page upon which the rubber duck illustration is at its tiniest. Neither my husband, my grandson, nor I could find the duck. Eventually my adult son found it, but to the rest of us it looks like only a small dot of yellow, unidentifiable as the rubber duck. (Perhaps that was the intent?) Other people may be able to see it more clearly on that particular page, but it is disappointing to us. However, if you like wordless picture books, don’t let that stop you from buying this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative and Beautiful
Reviewed in Canada on February 11, 2019
Verified Purchase
This book gets chosen frequently for bedtime by my 4 year old. The story is about a dog named Marlo who gets dirty after playing in the garden. He's given a bath and his imagination takes him on a deep sea adventure to retrieve his lost ducky. There is very little text (only at the beginning and the end) but the pictures are incredibly beautiful and carry you through the story. Some of the illustrations might be a bit scary for some younger children but Marlo is safe and cozy with his ducky at the end. I think this book helps illustrate to children (especially ones with particularly vivid imaginations) the difference between fantasy and reality, pretend life and real life. My daughter also loves the photograph at the back of the book showing the real-life Marlo with the author and always points it out and looks at it at the end of the story.
